Written Review

By May Harrell

The Train to Chrystal City by Jan Jarboe Russell

Glad, for someone put this book in my bag. Could not put this book down, for I was curious-

US Government already apologized to Japanese people who were deported to Chrystal City– even paid $20,000 to these people but the US Govern-ment never apologized to German people? I don’t think it is fair! When our Armed Forces were captured as POW, they always told their captors that they should be treated fair according to the Geneva Convention. But, the US Government did not practice this nor concerned about the Japa-nese/German people who were forced to go to Crystal City. Boyee! This kind of politics/practice should be practiced as it is supposed to! Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to read it. Love it to death!
