Radio Show : Interview with an internment-inmate

Speaker: So now today we've got a guest : here's Chen Ossuna, he survived
5 years in "Tule Lake" during the Japanese American Internment.
At that time he was 12 years old. Today he's going to give us some
impressions about the way of life this time. Good evening !
Mr. Ossuna: Godd evening.
Speaker: So first tell us how you came into the camps, please.
Mr. Ossuna: Well, we were sitting in the kitchen and were dining when they
caught us. They told us that we're going to stay there a few days
on holiday, but i knew that this was a lie !
Speaker: Right, and how were you treated when you have been in the time
you spent in the camp ?
Mr. Ossuna: Now, you can imagine, not that good. We had to sleep in rooms
like in prison, but not like there alone. We've been at least 6 people
in one room. Furthermore we got little to eat.
You could say we were treated like dogs, not like human beeings !
Speaker: Yeah, that's a really sad fact ! But we all know now what happened
and I hope that will ever remember us that this can't never
happen again. Mr. Ossuna I really thank you for beeing here
tonight and best wished for your future !
Mr. Ossuna: Thank you !
Speaker: So, this has been our special about the Japanese American
Internment. It will follow the weather broadcast with Stacy
godd evening everybody.....
