about.

My name is Katrina Crosby and I am a Junior at Loyola Marymount University. I am majoring in both Political Science and English, with the hopes to continue my education after college with law school. Japanese culture and the Japanese American experience has always been fascinating to me as I am currently a writer and reporter for LMU Asian Media. I was inspired to do this project by my grandmother’s personal story and hardships of World War II. At a young age she was forced to abandon her family and enter a concentration camp. As a Holocaust survivor, she emphasized the importance of understanding our history and learning from it, so we do not make the same mistakes in the future. Japanese Internment camps along the west coast, although not comparable, is a subject that I feel is important to share and emphasize. If people’s liberties could be so easily taken in times of fear, what can we do to prevent that from occurring again? Please read the interviews that I have documented from survivors themselves, to family members affected, to scholars on this subject. Go through the pictures and read the blog posts freely in hopes that you will take away something more than what you would find in a history book. Empathy.
