Behind the Wire

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Professor David Cesarani concludes his two-part investigation of mass detention during wartime. He joins a reunion of some of the 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans incarcerated in the US during the Second World War. Although most were American citizens, they were deprived of their rights and held in appalling conditions in barrack camps. Inmates were brutalised and humiliated bytheircaptors, but eventually won an apology and compensation forthe wasted years. Producer Hugh Levinson
