01 Mar / Citizen 13660 by Miné Okubo [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
The autobiographical account, told through sketches and text, of a second-generation Japanese American woman, who was reduced to Citizen Number 13660 and incarcerated during World War II, first at the Tanforan Assembly Center in San Bruno, California and later at Camp Topaz in Utah.
Remarkable also for being the first personal account of the Japanese American internment experience ever published.
