Directed by Frederick E.O. Toye. Written by Sigrid B. Toye.

Tears well in the mother’s eyes as the child asks for her father. She learns from her mother that ‘some men’ had come to the door, searched the entire house, and taken her father away. This is a typical story in the Japanese American community but it also happened to thousands of German and Italian Americans as well. 

Come watch the short film about one German American family and stay for the Q&A with the filmmaker who will discuss her family’s traumatic experiences post Pearl Harbor and would like to hear your experiences as well.
