Topaz Museum

Following up our theme of the new Topaz Museum, opening later this year, we wanted to share this week's NPR interview by Terry Gross with George Takei. Takei touches on his imprisonment in the Japanese internment camps when he was young. He and his family were rounded up by “soldiers with bayoneted rifles” when he was just 5 years old, torn from their home in Los Angeles and spent the next 4 years living behind barbed wire fences in captivity. Takei’s story offers insight ...into his life experiences and this period of our history.
