I spoke recently with Ali Velshi on the #VelshiBannedBookClub on MSNBC about my graphic memoir, “They Called Us Enemy.”
History is so important. It should not be hidden or whitewashed. #LetThemLearn
Here’s the clip. https://www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/watch/-velshibannedbookclub-george-takei-s-they-called-us-enemy-174252101879
@georgetakei I realize that you & others like you are trying to be sensitive to Jews when you avoid the term "concentration camp. but the fact is, you & other Japanese Americans WERE put in CONCENTRATION camps. They were just not *extermination camps* (thank Heaven for small mercies). But, as a Jew, I WANT whatever gravitas the term "concentration camp" has to be given to what you all suffered, to make it that much clearer to people what racist horror it was.
