I am currently a student at PSU.  I did not learn about the Japanese internment camps until just a few years ago in high school.  I couldn't believe that every history lesson I had prior to that had skipped over this important point in northwest history.

A great book for young readers is Weedflower which tells the story of a Japanese family being taken to an internment camp froom the point of view of a 10-year-old girl.
