A Bus Ticket & $25 - a podcast by Nikkei Rising

What happens when the war is over? In the sixth episode of the Yon-Say Podcast, Matt and Michelle talk to Rob Buscher of Philadelphia and Celeste Goedert of Detroit to discuss what their families did when the war finally came to an end. The Army gave every incarceree a bus ticket and $25 and told them to return to their non-existent homes as if nothing happened. From where their families went, what choices they had to make after four years of incarceration, and how that’s impacted them today, this episode explores a history that isn’t as well known within the stories of Japanese American history.
