5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Actor George Takei, who played Mr Sulu in Star Trek, has recalled how his family was "rounded up at gunpoint" and taken to a camp during WW2. Takei who was a child during the USA-Japan conflict, remembered how soldiers pounded on the door and ordered his family out of their house at gunpoint. His father, not wanting to scare the children, told him how they were going for a "long vacation" to a camp. This clip is originally from 5 live's Peter Allen and Caroline Barker on 22nd April 2018.
