LISTEN TO 


ANNE SHIMOJIMA

"MY FAMILY'S WORLD WAR II STORY"

WHEN: ZOOM WEDNESDAY NOV. 4TH

7-8:30 P.M.

https://balibrary.librarycalendar.com/events/hidden-memory-american-story


World War II was a very different experience for Japanese Americans.  Join storyteller Anne Shimojima as she shares the inspiring story of her family's journey from Japan and through the incarceration camps where 120,000 innocent people were locked up behind barbed wire.  Anne illustrates her talk with photos from her family and the National Archives, showing a family whose only crime was looking like the enemy.


 

Anne Shimojima previously told two true stories for Short Story Theatre - live at Miramar Bistro. Anne, a retired school library media specialist, has told stories for 30+ years at festivals, schools, libraries, conferences, and museums. Some past venues include: Teller-in-Residence at the International Storytelling Center, the National Storytelling Festival, Illinois Storytelling Festival, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Storytelling Arts of Indiana. Anne also gives workshops on the use of storytelling in education and the creation of family history projects. Her family story about the Japanese-American incarceration camps in World War II is available at www.byuradio.org.
