Experiences in an American Concentration Camp

May is recognized nationally as Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Cerimon House is honored to welcome longtime Oregon resident George Nakata for a special speaking engagement. Mr. Nakata will share his deeply personal story of being removed from his home in Portland at the age of 9 and incarcerated behind barb wires in American Concentration Camps during the hysteria of World War II.

Please join with us for Mr. Nakatas timely exploration of a historical event that few understand or even believe happened. Q&A and conversation to follow.
