What if your country treated you like the enemy—just because of who you are?
In this award-winning graphic memoir, actor and activist George Takei shares what it was like to be a kid growing up behind barbed wire in an American incarceration camp during World War II. At just four years old, he and his family were forced from their home simply because they were Japanese American.
Through powerful artwork and honest storytelling, They Called Us Enemy brings history to life—showing how fear and racism can shape a nation, and how one person’s voice can rise above it all. Whether you’re into graphic novels, history, identity, or social justice, this book hits hard—and it sticks with you. Come talk about what it means to belong, how the past connects to now, and why stories like Takei’s matter more than ever.
