The moral is never expressed, but the wry pictures and the scanty words make the reader laugh--and if he is an American too--blush." "A remarkably objective and vivid and even humorous account... In dramatic and detailed drawings and brief text, she documents the whole episode ... all that she saw, objectively, yet with a warmth of understanding." -New York Times Book Review Long Description Min Review Quote "[Mine Okubo] took her months of life in the concentration camp and made it the material for this amusing, heart-breaking book. . . .
