Summary: Mara Kumagai Fink explores her family's experiences in the internment camps during WWII. Mara spent the summer interviewing family members and revisiting the camps with them. She wondered "Why am I angrier about it than they are?"
I love this piece! It stays personal while offering a real exploration of family history in a larger cultural context. The progression of the piece felt very natural and and it's well written!
