My Lost Freedom

George Takei

George Takei’s book My Lost Freedom is a powerful story about his childhood in America during World War II. When he was just five years old, his family—along with thousands of other Japanese Americans—was taken from their home and forced to live in internment camps, just because of their heritage. Through his eyes, we see the hardships his family faced, as well as the hope, resilience, and kindness that helped them through tough times.
