Reviews for Hidden Memory: An American World War II Story

 Your story was lovely, moving, and a gentle/firm confrontation for the sins of our nation. 
Carol  Birch, storyteller

We  are very lucky to have our students share in your stories.  Your engaging presentation has really enriched what we do in the classroom  and it has given our students much more to take away than just a simple  history lesson or literature piece.    
Albert Chan, history teacher, Niles North High School, IL

The show is so well done - professionally presented, moving, educational and interesting! You should be very proud of this work.
Susan O'Connor, Director of Programs, International Storytelling Center, Jonesborough, TN

Anne, that was wonderful beyond words! It was moving just to listen to you. Adding the pictures and documents made it even more memorable. Bravo!!!  (And keep doing it.)
Eric A. Kimmel, author and storyteller

Absolutely fascinating story and delightfully delivered.

Amazing. Brought me to tears, and joy that you put this together for us.

Though  I have read books about the internment camps, your personal family  story has a particular power and impact. Thank you so much for the artistry and research that went into crafting and presenting this. So well done, Anne!

Your presentation was both professionally  presented and very touching. Thank you so much for educating us. It is a story that needs to be told. Sadly, prejudice is still present in our time. Prejudice is nothing other than ignorance. 

Anne told her family story in a beautiful way. She is a great story teller. I already  knew much about the Japanese concentration camps but she added more by personalizing it. We should learn from these atrocities.

This was one of the best programs I have seen in a long time and I watch many Zoom library programs.
