In 1941, Government agents seized Ewan Yoshida's father. He was never seen again. In this final part of our three part episode on FDR and the decision to intern the Japanese in WWII, we review the consequences of the internment decision for the people sent to the camps, and why Roosevelt made the decision in the first place.
