Digging to the Other SideThe Topaz Japanese Internment Camp and Memorials of LossToday we talk about the clandestine removal of a monument memorializing a shooting victim at the Topaz Japanese Internment Camp. The memorial was reportedly removed at the behest of the Topaz Museum, the non-for-profit that is supposed to be preserving the history and integrity of the internment camp.

We talk about why that explanation doesn't seem to fit with the situation or the treatment of the monument post removal.
