Twenty years ago, my husband and I celebrated the most wonderous Christmas of our lives in Krakow, Poland as we joined our son and his family for the holiday. We visited the medieval Market Square, alive with Christmas, Santa Claus, and Ronald McDonald; rode in a carriage to Wawal castle and met its fire-breathing dragon, Smok, and took a one-horse open sleigh ride over the river and thru the forested hills of the Carpathian Mountains. Let me share this storybook memory with you.

On February 19, 1942, Proclamation 9066 was issued, ordering the incarceration of all Japanese Americans living on the West Coast during World War II. Peggy Doi, the daughter of Japanese American parents, will share her family’s story—an important part of Minnesota’s history. Her father and many others were recruited or volunteered from the incarceration camps to serve in the Military Intelligence Service Language School, which was first located at Camp Savage and later at Fort Snelling. There, Japanese Americans were trained as translators and intelligence specialists to support U.S. forces in the Pacific Theater. Peggy’s presentation tells the story of her family’s experiences before and during this pivotal time in history.
