Acclaimed author Joy Kogawa visits Google to discuss her lifelong career as a writer, her experience as a child growing up in a Japanese internment camp during WW2, and her thoughts about how we can prevent similar human rights abuses in the future.

She is best known for her 1981 classic novel "Obasan", based on her family's forced relocation from Vancouver during the Second World War when she was six years old.
