Beyond Barbed Wire – A Family’s Living Legacy of the Japanese Internment Camps of WWII

May 1, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Denny Kato shares his family’s living legacy of the Japanese internment camps in WWII.

About this event

As a schoolboy, nobody believed Dennis Kato when he told them that his father’s parents and their families had been forced into incarceration camps simply because they were of Japanese descent. He is speaking up again now in hopes that you believe this happened in America.

About the speaker:

Denny Kato is a graduate of Walnut Hills High School and the University of Cincinnati.

Public Health Requirements:

This will be a hybrid program, with limited tickets available for on-site seating. It will also be livestreamed online to those who have reserved tickets. Online participants will be able to hear and participate in live Q&A after the lecture.

Lecture Series Sponsor:
