The National Park Service tells the story of a very bleak chapter in American history. In 1942, in reaction to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Japanese Americans and legal immigrants were unjustly imprisoned in these concentration camps until the end of WWII.

"Personal Justice Denied" Decades later, having determined the government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership, the government attempted to correct this violation of human rights by offering apologies and reparations to the survivors. The National Park Service has preserved several camp locations as a reminder to this and future generations of the fragility of American civil liberties. Densho.org preserves irreplaceable firsthand accounts of survivors, to explore principles of democracy and promote equal justice for all.

NP14 REVIEW: The Midwest Book Review 

Part of the "Discoveries... America National Parks" series, Japanese American Incarceration 1942-1945 is a documentary about places of twentieth-century American injustice on a colossal scale. In 1942, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the American government ordered the extended detention of 110,000 Japanese-Americans and legal immigrants. Men, women and children were forced from their homes, and kept alive in remote, militarized concentration camps.

Disease took a lethal toll on an imprisoned, innocent population - not a single one of them was ever convicted of espionage or sabotage. In order to remind the nation that such an egregious violation of civil and human rights must never happen again, The National Park Service has preserved several camp locations, while Densho.org records the firsthand account of concentration camp survivors. Gut-wrenching, profound, and an unforgettable lesson of history, Japanese American Incarceration 1942-1945 is a "must-have" for public library DVD shelves. 50 min. 

NP14 REVIEW: Video Librarian 
Discoveries...America National Parks: Japanese American Incarceration 1942-1945  (2013) 56 min. DVD or Blu-ray: $24.95. Bennett-Watt HD Productions. PPR. ISBN: 978-1-60490-172-6 (dvd), 978-1-60490-195-5 (blu-ray). This unusual entry in Jim and Kelly Watt’s acclaimed Discoveries...America National Parks series focuses on the incarceration "camps" that imprisoned Japanese-American U.S. citizens during World War II.

Combining archival materials with contemporary research (including video interviews of camp survivors), the film touches on the history of how and why peaceful Japanese-Americans were considered dangerous following Japan's air assault on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. But most of the attention here is on what has been done by federal and state governments to preserve and restore such camps as Poston, Manzanar, Minidoka, and Tule Lake.

In some cases, little remains in such places aside from signs commemorating the former imprisonment of innocent people. At other sites, however, much of the basic camp infrastructure is still in place, albeit in disrepair. Viewers learn about efforts to make these places a draw for visitors—largely as a reminder of a shameful chapter in U.S. history, but also as a symbol of the resilience of Japanese-Americans who lost everything (including their freedom). Full of powerful personal testimonies, this eye-opening travelogue is highly recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh) 

NP14 REVIEW: Booklist 
Japanese American Incarceration, 1942-1945. Bennett-Watt, DVD, $24.95. (9781604901726) During WWII, more than 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants were rounded up and detained in "remote, military-style" camps.  This new entry in the ongoing Discoveries... America National Parks series begins with period footage and stills of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.  The National Park Service has preserved some of these camps, including Manzanar, as National Historic Sites.  

The Manzanar site features a well-designed visitor center filled with exhibits showcasing the detainees' experiences.  Interviewed staff share emotional stories, and the director of a project that collects oral histories explains the importance of documenting this painful event in U.S. history.  Most of the buildings are no longer standing, but Japanese rock gardens remain as testimonials to the courageous men and women who maintained their culture despite the dire circumstances.  Several other camps under development for similar memorials are briefly visited in this well-organized program, which mixes history and travel information. -- Candace Smith.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
