There are things we don't talk about much here, either.
There's a book I read some years ago about the internment camps in the US where Japanese Americans were forced to spend the war year. The book is called A FAREWELL TO MANZANAR, and it was written by someone who was a child when her family was uprooted and transported to this camp. Her father was Japanese by birth and had come to live in the US at an early age. He was a fisherman. Because he went out in his boat to fish, the US government suspected him of going out to meet Japanese U boats. They questioned whether his loyalty could be for his adopted country over his birth country.
She said, in effect, that he never chose sides: It was like watching his father and his mother fighting, and he only wished they would stop.
