Description

Dr. Stephanie Hinnershitz, senior historian with the Institute for the Study of War and Democracy at the National World War II Museum, joins me in this episode to talk about Japanese-Americans in the United States during World War II, including a little more on the Japanese-American Army units and the War Department's "loyalty questionnaire", and the role of the US Army in the Japanese-American incarceration. Dr. Hinnershitz also talks about the importance of using the correct words when talking about history, common myths and misconceptions that have continued to this day, and she offers some great advice for current and aspiring historians and researchers.
