Reagan’s Visit to West Germany

Share via

Reagan regretted opening “old wounds” by his cemetery trip, but I strongly feel that we must remember so that crimes of yesteryears will never again be repeated.

The opening of old wounds has brought back vivid memories of my months incarcerated behind barbed wire fences in an American concentration camp guarded by soldiers with rifles because we were Americans but with Japanese faces.

If we, the Japanese-Americans are to “totally share and embrace the positive things,” as Reagan eloquently expressed, let us remember, too, this act of “infamy” that happened in our United States of America.
