  • Ep. 30 Japanese Internment Camps
    Today's episode is going to be rough one. This is a necessary episode digging up one of the darker secrets in recent American history. This is something that must be discussed and cannot be forgiven. During WWII the US government gathered and isolated the Japanese citizens of the country into internment camps under horrific conditions. So if you are looking for a lighthearted episode this is not one of them.
