535 N. Fifth Street California, United States of America

Date: Jan. 3, 2015

Time: 1 p.m.



Robert Wada's book, From Internment to Korea to Solitude will be discussed at the JAMsj Book Club
This book is a memoir of Robert M. Wada, a nisei child of a WWII Japanese American internment camp and later a Marine Corps veteran of the Korean War. Wada's memoirs carry us into the world of WWII JA internment camps, discrimination, and tragedies that befall him as a young Marine fighting for his country in the Korean War. This is a story about struggle and loss of hope, followed by new purpose and faith.

Books are available at the JAMsj store.
The Book Club meets at 1:00 p.m. the first Saturday of every other month at JAMsj. Meetings are open to the general public, and books are available for purchase at the museum store. Questions? Contact Book Club facilitator, Aggie Idemoto at aggie@jamsj.org or (408) 294-3138.

Cost: Free with admission to the museum (non-members, $5; students and seniors over age 65, $3; JAMsj members and children under 12, free)

No RSVP required.
