WHAT FREEDOM REQUIRES: Remembering, resisting and refusing to forget

https://www.livinglutheran.org/voices-of-faith/what-freedom-requires/

Former Sierra Pacific Synod Vice President and Japanese American Gail Kiyomura recalls her father’s experience of World War II-era internment in Topaz, Utah, part of a larger uprooting of 120,000 individuals — nearly two-thirds of them U.S. citizens — that resulted from President Franklin Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. Kiyomura’s story is part one of a three-part Living Lutheran series publishing during the month of May in which Lutherans reflect on their families’ experience of Japanese American incarceration. Read the second installment, “What freedom requires,” on LivingLutheran.org.
