Topaz Stories 2024: Zoom Recordings

Many of you have asked about the availability of the Zoom recordings of our Topaz Stories 2024 speakers events. The following recordings are available on J-Sei’s YouTube channel:

September 22, 2024: Children of Topaz: Stories and Art
October 3, 2024: Dispersed: The WWII Scattering of the Japanese American Community
October 13, 2024: The Lost Sketches of Topaz
November 7, 2024: Soldiers’ Stories
December 5, 2024: Return to California

We unfortunately had audio issues during our virtual transmission of “Wartime Friends and Allies” on November 23, so that recording will not be available.

Three children (ages 8-10), microphones in hand, read stories before an audience. Adjacent screens show three brothers and a dog, a portrait of a senior Japanese American woman, and an open tent under which a mother and son sit.
