Written Review

The Train to Chrystal City by Jan Jarboe Russell
Glad, for someone put this book in my bag.
Could not put this book down, for I was curious-
US Government already apologized to Japanese
people who were deported to Chrystal City– even
paid $20,000 to these people but the US Govern-
ment never apologized to German people? I don’t
think it is fair! When our Armed Forces were
captured as POW, they always told their captors
that they should be treated fair according to the
Geneva Convention. But, the US Government did
not practice this nor concerned about the Japa-
nese/German people who were forced to go to
Crystal City.
Boyee! This kind of politics/practice
should be practiced as it is supposed
to! Thanks again for giving me the
opportunity to read it. Love it to
death!
