George Takei picture book on his years in internment camps will be published next spring
- George Takei, who spent three years in internment camps for Japanese Americans during World War II, is set to publish a picture book titled "My Lost Freedom" on April 30, 2024.
- Takei aims to educate young children and their caregivers about the injustices faced by Japanese Americans by telling his own story in a way that is understandable to them.
- The internment camps were established due to an executive order signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942, which led to the forced removal and incarceration of over 100,000 Japanese Americans. Takei hopes to convey the fragility and importance of democracy and our participation in it, especially in today's political climate.
