The moving and powerful story of the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion of the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team, a fighting force comprised of Asian-American soldiers that helped liberate the Dachau concentration camp and was a part of the most highly decorated unit of its size in U.S. history. It is also the story of two very different peoples--Jews and Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA's) -- who shared common experiences as victims of government-sanctioned oppression, racism and prejudice during World War II.
