Here in America? a new documentary DVD directed by Casey
Peek and a publication edited by Helen Zia and Grace Shimizu covers the
Assembly on the Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (AWRIC)
by the Enemy Alien Files Consortium and published by NJAHS. The AWRIC
was an historic public testimonial event held on April 8 and 9, 2005 at
Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, California. Involving over
23 community organizations, more than 64 individual participants, and
scores of staff and volunteers, this exciting gathering served to document
and preserve the little known World War II stories of immigrants of German,
Italian and Japanese ancestry (in the US and from Latin America) as well
as the experiences of the Arab, Muslim and South Asian communities who
are being labeled "the enemy" today.
