Super Short Summary

They Called Us Enemy by George Takei, illustrated by Harmony Becker, is a graphic memoir of Takei's childhood in Japanese internment camps during WWII. Framed by Takei's modern-day talk at President Roosevelt's home, it chronicles his family's relocation to Camp Rohwer, dealing with their internment's hardships, the Loyalty Questionnaire, and eventual transfer to Camp Tule Lake. Post-war, they move to Los Angeles, where Takei's career in theater, particularly his role in Star Trek, enables him to promote tolerance and inclusivity. Sensitive topics of war, incarceration, and displacement are depicted.
