Takei's family was rounded up into trucks at gunpoint, then driven to a converted racetrack where “each family was assigned a horse stall, still pungent with the stink of horse manure, to sleep in,” recalled Takei. He spent the remainder of the war in captivity, until age 9. https://t.co/ruYlPS6FSr — PolitiTweet.org
