SUMMARY:Haddassah Minneapolis St. Paul presents "Sachiko: The True Story of a Child Survivor of the Bombing of Nagasaki"
DESCRIPTION:Haddassah Minneapolis St. Paul presents “Sachiko: The True Story of a Child Survivor of the Bombing of Nagasaki”. \nHow many Americans know what happened to innocent civilian survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II? Stories of the hibakusha\, the Japanese word for atomic bomb survivors\, are important for us to know\, just as we must know and never forget the stories of Holocaust survivors. The Anne Frank rose bush that grows in the shadow of the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum symbolizes journeys of horror and survival to resilience and peace.\n  \nMinneapolis author Caren Stelson will share her relationship with Sachiko Yasui\, who survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki as a six-year-old child\, and her journey from cataclysmic trauma to a pathway to peace. What happened to Sachiko and the history that wraps around her story have universal implications for us today and can inspire our own actions for peace for the future. \n

SUMMARY:King County Law Library- Remembering Japanese Incarceration and the Lies of Executive Order 9066
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Jon Osaki’s documentary\, “Alternative Facts: The Lies of Executive Order 9066” takes an in-depth look at the legal rationale and evidence that undergirded the issuance of Executive Order 9066\, which led to the wartime incarceration of almost 120\,000 persons of Japanese ancestry\, and Korematsu v. United States (1944)\, the subsequent U.S. Supreme Court Case which upheld its constitutionality. Using historical footage\, documents\, and interviews\, Alternative Facts covers the forces and players that brought E.O. 9066 into being\, the work of researchers who uncovered evidence unmasking the manipulated record submitted to the Supreme Court in Korematsu\, and the work of the attorneys pursuing coram nobis cases to vacate the convictions of Fred Korematsu\, Gordon Hirabayashi\, and Minoru Yasui. \nAfter a screening of Alternative Facts\, Serin Ngai\, of Sound Family Solutions\, PLLC\, will lead a panel discussion with filmmaker Jon Osaki\, King County Superior Court Presiding Judge Patrick Oishi\, and Lori Bannai\, Professor Emeritus\, Seattle University School of Law\, and Director Emeritus of the law school’s Korematsu Center. Professor Bannai was also an attorney on the legal team that won vacation of Mr. Korematsu’s wartime conviction. The panel will discuss the role of attorneys and the judiciary in Korematsu case\, how these issues continue to impact the current legal and political climate\, and how lawyers and judges can respond. \nCost: FREE!
