A video recording of storyteller Alton Chung telling five stories which explore different aspects of the Japanese American experience of WWII. The stories speak of what it was like to be in internment camps and to go to war or serve in the Military Intelligence Service as translators in the Pacific. Voices is the story of Takejiro Higa, who was born in Hawaii, grew up in Okinawa and helped plan the invasion of Okinawa and what it was like to go to where he grew up carrying a gun, wondering if he was going to meet his uncle or his cousins. Or Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese consul in Lithuania, who wrote transit visas to allow Polish Jews to escape the Nazis. The last is the story of Solly Ganor, an 11-year-old Lithuanian Jewish boy who survived Dachau and was rescued by the 442nd at the end of the war.
