Topaz Stories: Wartime Friends and Allies of Japanese Americans

Japanese American survivors have many stories of the shock of being shunned by neighbors, coworkers, and prewar Caucasian friends after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. But there are also stories of those who stood by them and helped, in small and big ways–one, at the cost of his career.

Join us as we share stories by Doris Yamada Yagi, Frank Kami, Jonathan Hirabayashi, and Jon Yatabe and Ruth Sasaki, and pay tribute to our wartime friends and allies.

The event will be held in person at the Moab Museum and on Zoom.
