History Bits - After Pearl Harbor
by ryanikoglu
Miss Breed was the first Children's Librarian in San Diego Public Library. Dear Miss Breed is the story of "quiet acts of courage" following The bombing of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. "Her children" were American citizens of Japanese ancestry. As families were sent away to internment camps, Miss Breed handed them penny postcards printed with her return address. She sent books, letters, paper dolls, and small packages of "treasure" to the children in Poston Camp III. Her acts touched the lives of dozens of children for the rest of their lives. Her letters are lost, but she saved the children's letters. They and tell this Hero story !
