Visiting the Japanese American Museum was an extremely moving and often gut wrenching roller coaster ride of emotions both of happiness and sadness alike. The stories of triumph were ostensibly plastered along the walls in glass cases‚ but so too were the stories of terror and internment of Japanese Americans on no further grounds than their original origin.
