Citizen 13660 by Miné Okubo

This poignant graphic memoir offers a firsthand account of the Japanese American internment during World War II, as experienced by a young woman who was forcibly relocated with her family from their home in California to internment camps. Through a series of evocative illustrations and accompanying narrative, the story captures the daily life, challenges, and resilience of those living in the camps, providing a deeply personal perspective on a dark chapter in American history. The work stands as both a historical document and a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
