THIS WEEK: As a child, Mary Gruenewald was interned with her family after Pearl Harbor. She and her family were taken from their farm on Vashon Island and locked up at Tule Lake, California. They, along with thousands of other loyal Americans of Japanese heritage lost their property and homes, but never their dignity or sense of worth.

All of whom have stories that intrigue.
