    Module 3 - Japanese-American Relations in WWII - Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

    • Focus: Understanding Perspectives
    • Students study the important yet divergent experiences of war and conflict, specifically WWII, as they read Unbroken, which tells the story of Louis Zamperini, an American prisoner-of-war in a Japanese camp, alongside an informational text about a Japanese American who was interned in a relocation camp in the United States.
