There was an Exhibit Opening on Sunday, May 18 in the Powell Library of UCLA - 2nd floor Rotunda, followed by a reception.
Hans Eberhard and Ensi Eiserloh Bennett coordinated

Orange County area. Many internees and their families were n

as well as Latin Japanese, enjoyed an after noon learning and
