Description

A Cultural Bridge Productions, 1997. - 16 стр. (на англ. яз.) http://www.johnsheaodonnell.com/CulturalBridgeProductions/jpyam.htmЭто драматичная история о мытарствах двух сестер, американок японского происхождения, отец которых эмигрировал в Америку из Японии задолго до Второй Мировой Войны. Волею судеб сестры оказались между двух огней, когда прибыли на "вражескую" территорию в Японию уже во время войны, из которой им пришлось бежать обратно в "родную", но враждебную Америку. Статья иллюстрирована документальными фотографиями и свидетельствами очевидцев.This is the story of two Japanese-American sisters whose father had emigrated to the United States at the turn of the century. Fate led them to Japan where they experienced World War II on enemy soil. Their family was back in the U.S. and suffering because they looked Japanese while these two girls suffered from severe hardships brought on by the war and from bombs dropped by their own country. Their remarkable story was culled from a family history, a newspaper article, a U.S. military interview, a personal interview, telephone interviews and letters. I am indebted to Mary Yamamoto and Leila Myers for sharing their story with me so that I can share it with you.
