Multicultural Authors---Baseball Saved Us by Ken Mochizuki

Baseball Saved Us


 Ken Mochizuki
1993

Baseball Saved Us is a miraculous story of a family who is sent to concentration camp after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  To fight against the depression and hurtful feelings, a father and son start a baseball league within the camp.  This helps the people of the camp overcome their depression of being imprisoned.

I can't imagine being held against my will to die due to my skin color or religious beliefs.  I am sure that the people in these situations do the best they can to overcome their disenchantment of living in capture.  I see it as a way to survive.
