Desert Diary: Heartbreaking Testimony from Japanese American Kids Behind Barbed Wire

Desert Diary is a powerful and moving book that tells the stories of Japanese American children who were imprisoned in internment camps during World War II. These firsthand accounts offer a unique and deeply personal perspective on one of the darkest chapters in American history.

The book is divided into four sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the internment experience. The first section, "Arrival," describes the children's initial arrival at the camps. They were met with barbed wire fences, armed guards, and a sense of overwhelming confusion and fear.

The second section, "Life in Camp," tells the story of the children's day-to-day lives in the camps. They attended school, played games, and tried to make the best of their situation. But they also faced discrimination, prejudice, and a constant sense of uncertainty about their future.
