Mandy joins a historic walking tour through old Japantown in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where her father enjoyed a happy childhood in a once-vibrant community. After Pearl Harbour, everything changed. Under the War Measures Act, 22,000 Japanese Canadians were forcibly removed from their homes and interned —without cause.
