Courage and Compassion chronicles the stories of Japanese Americans during and immediately after WWII, highlighting the U.S. government’s curtailing of their civil rights, the bravery of Japanese American soldiers who fought for the freedom of millions while being denied their own, and the integrity of Americans who stood up for their friends and neighbors.
