Gitta:
I have a very special Xmas Surprise for you.
Over 30 years ago a relative of mine wrote several times to Mary Bard Jensen's husband Dr. Clyde Jensen. She was especially interested in the famous Bard Xmas family parties.
Very dear Dr. Jensen shared several photos of family Xmas parties by Mary Bard Jensen, Betty MacDonald, Alison Bard Burnett, Dorothea Goldsmith ( Dede ) and others.
Betty MacDonald Fan Club Xmas Newsletter includes several of these photos. I know you'll enjoy them very much.
Miriam, speaking of husbands and Xmas I have to tell you my husband agrees with Betty MacDonald's husband Don. He likes table trees. LOL.
To my daughters and me Xmas without a huge tree isn't Xmas at all.
So what will we have? Of course we'll have an enormous Xmas tree. Poor hubby!
He always says: Sometimes it's a bit complicated if you have three women in your house.
I can't tell you how much we love Xmas time.
Love,
Gitta

Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's sister
Barbara:
My Betty MacDonald Fan Club favourites are Wolfgang Hampel's interviews with Betty MacDonald's very witty sister Alison Bard Burnett.
Wolfgang Hampel's poems make us laughing all the time.
The poems should be published in a special Betty MacDonald Fan Club Edition.
Wolfgang Hampel is like Betty MacDonald a real humorist with golden laughter.
If your November is rainy and grey I hope you have lots of sunshine in your hearts.

Betty MacDonald, Sydney Bard and Alison Bard Burnett are my favourites. Their letters and Wolfgang Hampel's unique Betty MacDonald Interviews include so many fascinating stories, details and info.

Alison Bard Burnett enjoyed Nisei Daughter
It's Lasse,
Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone was furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights.
Monica Sone said to Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel:
I didn't move from Seattle - they moved me away and I never came back.
( only for family visits )
Of course everybody can understand Monica Sone's feelings.
A democratic society has to protect the civil rights of their people. Otherwise it's no longer a democratic society. A simple fact.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians.
Just imagine the loss of property, the personal insults, the barbed wire, armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, barren land, shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details, snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
Therefore Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a very important book.
Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder, author, poet and Monica Sone's good friend Wolfgang Hampel told us that Nisei Daughter belonged to the very few books he was rereading. I know many of us do the very same.
Betty MacDonald encouraged her friend Monica Sone in publishing her book 'Nisei Daughter'.
Betty MacDonald said: 'Nisei Daughter ' is a very remarkable book, humorous and delightfully readable, that takes you into the heart of a Japanese-American family and into the mind of the sensitive, perceptive eldest daughter.
The internment of the American born Japanese during World War II is handled with honesty and rare dispassion. It is certainly to Monica Sone's credit that she she still sings God bless America.
Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett had the same feelings.
Betty MacDonald was right. Having Monica Sone's experiences I'm not sure I would.
I agree with John Heitman "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt."
Take care,
Lasse

Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone was furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights.
Monica Sone said to Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel:
I didn't move from Seattle - they moved me away and I never came back.
( only for family visits )
Of course everybody can understand Monica Sone's feelings.
A democratic society has to protect the civil rights of their people. Otherwise it's no longer a democratic society. A simple fact.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians.
Just imagine the loss of property, the personal insults, the barbed wire, armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, barren land, shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details, snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
Therefore Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a very important book.
Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder, author, poet and Monica Sone's good friend Wolfgang Hampel told us that Nisei Daughter belonged to the very few books he was rereading. I know many of us do the very same.
Betty MacDonald encouraged her friend Monica Sone in publishing her book 'Nisei Daughter'.
Betty MacDonald said: 'Nisei Daughter ' is a very remarkable book, humorous and delightfully readable, that takes you into the heart of a Japanese-American family and into the mind of the sensitive, perceptive eldest daughter.
The internment of the American born Japanese during World War II is handled with honesty and rare dispassion. It is certainly to Monica Sone's credit that she she still sings God bless America.
Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett had the same feelings.
Betty MacDonald was right. Having Monica Sone's experiences I'm not sure I would.
I agree with John Heitman "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt."
Take care,
Lasse

Alison Bard Burnett, Monica Sone
Hi this is Anita and Eartha Kitt II,
We lost a friend.
Eartha and I and many Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans are so sad.
I was rereading Monica Sone's 'Nisei Daughter'.
Alison Bard Burnett enjoyed Monica Sone's book very much.
I agree with Milion S. Eisenhower who asked:
"How could such a tragedy have occurred
in a democratic society
that prides itself on individual rights and freedoms?"
I didn't know that some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians.
John Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
The most important question is: Do we really learn from our past?
The mentioned websites are really very important and we learned a lot.
May Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit live forever.
Our world needs personalities like these outstanding two ladies.
Love,
Anita and Eartha Kitt II

921 SON, Nisei Daughter
Monica Sone spent her childhood in pre-World War II Seattle, in a part Japanese, part American world. Dinner might be steak and pumpkin pie or pickled daikon, rice, and soy sauce; there was American public school during the day and the strict formality of Japanese school in the late afternoons. "I found myself switching my personality back and forth daily like a chameleon. At Bailey Gatzert School I was a jumping, screaming, roustabout Yankee, but at the stroke of three...I suddenly became a modest, faltering, earnest little Japanese girl with a small timid voice." Her memories of growing up are vivid and full of marvelous stories, showing the confusion, frustration, and enrichment of living within two cultures. These elements come together when Japan bombs Pearl Harbor and Monica and her family are sent to an internment camp in Topaz, Idaho. Nisei Daughter describes the loss of property and the personal insults, the barbed wire and armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, and barren land - and the efforts of the Japanese-Americans to maintain their ethics, family life, and belief in the United States. Monica Sone is furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights, and yet ironically, it is during her time in the camps and afterwards in the Midwest that she finally brings together the various aspects of her heritage. Straightforward, searching, often funny, this is a highly readable account of one woman's experience living in many worlds.

Years of silence: The untold story of German-American internment
by Deborah McCarty Smith
More than fifty years have passed since the beginnings of the arrest and internment of European Americans in the United States during World War II. For the most part, the history of internment has been either quieted or distorted. For example, the majority of the best-selling collegiate and secondary school history texts in the United States claim that, unlike Japanese Americans, the German and Italian Americans were not arrested and interned; and both the print and electronic news media have propagated this myth.
56% of all internees (14,426 of 25,655) were Europeans and European Americans--Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, even several Czechs and Poles.
The arrest of Germans, German Americans, Italians and Italian Americans began on December 7, 1941--four days before the U.S. was at war with Germany and Italy. [Source: ibid.]European and European Americans were kept interned until July 1948--more than three years after the war in Europe had ended.
Europeans and European-Americans accounted for 56 percent of all internees during World War II, according to Arthur Jacobs, co-editor of World War Two Experience: The Internment of German-Americans. In all, some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
"Do we really learn from our past?" John Heitmann wonders, tracing parallels between the internment of German- Americans in the '40s and government plans to intern suspected communists in the '50s, Iranians in the '70s and Iraqis in the '90s. In the FBI Filegate flap of the Clinton administration, in current anti-immigrant sentiment, in anti-terrorist legislation that circumvents due process, historians hear ominous echoes of earlier times.
"There are some intrinsic flaws in human nature that reappear and are reflected in our institutions. It's a story of how institutions end up biting people," Heitmann said. "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt," he said, acknowledging a professional curiosity that is fueled by a personal quest to discover a part of his family history that is buried under years of silence.
"Self-identity is an important purpose of history. It's a handle or fulcrum of how you understand yourself better. We're all a product of a complicated past. I see this as an example of what anyone can do: history as a process of self-discovery."

Alison Bard Burnett, Monica Sone, Gwen Grant
Good morning, I'm Desi,
Gwen Grant, beloved author and Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member was sending this message to Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel:
I'm so very sorry to hear about Monica Sone.
I've just been looking again at THE PLAGUE AND I and loving all over again her pared down elegance and gentle personality.
Monica Sone (Kimi) was a person anyone could love and she has had a firm place in my heart since the day I met her through Betty's book.
I not only loved her but admired her so much. Kimi was one of the most memorable characters I have ever met through literature and, of course, she will live on, just as Betty does.
One of the highlights of last year for me was receiving her e-mail and I am so happy to hear that she liked my Christmas story.
Sad news that can only allow us to be glad that any of us got to meet Monica Sone, through the books THE PLAGUE AND I and NISEI DAUGHTER or in real life for it was such a privilege to know her.
Much love,
Gwen Grant
Thanks a Million dearest Gwen! I love your books and your Christmas story so much.
Monica Sone touched many people in her life.
Alison Bard Burnett was a huge Monica Sone Fan and she enjoyed her book Nisei Daughter very much.

I hope to receive more info on artist and writer Eva Vargas.
