George Takei on the heirloom that preserves the memory of his family’s internment during WWII

George Takei shares with Stephen Colbert the gut-wrenching story of his family’s experience during WWII, when racism and war hysteria led the United States government to imprison 125,000 Japanese-Americans in internment camps. His new book, “My Lost Freedom,” chronicles his family’s experience in a way that makes it easy for parents to teach their children about this dark period in America’s recent history.
