In this pathbreaking account, Duncan Ryūken Williams reveals how, even as they were stripped of their homes and imprisoned in camps, Japanese-American Buddhists launched one of the most inspiring defenses of religious freedom in our nation's history, insisting that they ...

Als am 1. September 1939 die deutschen Truppen in Polen einfielen, war das der Auftakt für die Eroberung von 'Lebensraum im Osten.' Eroberung war gleichbedeutend mit der Versklavung und Vernichtung der einheimischen Bevölkerung, die der NS-Rassenideologie nach als 'fremdvölkisch' und daher 'minderwertig' galten. An ihren Platz sollten sogenannte 'Volksdeutsche' treten, die bis dahin als Minderheiten ...
