Thousands of German families were interned by the United States during World War II. They were taken from their homes and schools, denied "due process" and imprisoned in 200+ detention camps throughout the United States and Latin America. "Children of Internment" tells their riveting story using live interviews with those who were interned, family photographs and historical footage.
