Southern California-based graphic novel creators Sakai, Kiyomura and Sato present an illustrated talk about the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the U.S. Army’s Japanese American unit in Europe. The Nisei soldiers risked their lives behind enemy lines, even as their families were behind barbed wire in camps back home.

The presenters will share family stories and striking visuals. The digital graphic novel is available for free on the Stela app.
