(2) 4-6 With Herman J. Viola. In 1942, four-year-old Annelex, her mother, and grandmother, Dutch citizens living in the Dutch East Indies, were interned by the Japanese. Recapturing a child's-eye view, Layson narrates simply, letting events speak for themselves. With its similarities and contrasts to Japanese internment in the U.S. and to Holocaust accounts, this is a worthy addition to the World War II canon. Timeline.
