My Two and Half Years Behind Barbed Wire
Yukio Shimomura will be sharing his family’s experience during the 40's when WWII started and how Executive Order 9066 affected his family. They left San Francisco and entered the incarceration camps in San Bruno and in Delta, Utah. He will relate what his parents and his older brothers and Yukio went through, the lifestyle in the camp, the dynamics in the camp, and the significant ironies.
Yukio was born in San Francisco and was in grade school when World War II started. His family was incarcerated and was interned to a camp in San Bruno, CA and to the camp near Delta, Utah.
He relocated to Ogden, Utah where he graduated high school and then attended Weber State University and Utah State University where he earned a Bachelor Degree in Manufacturing Engineering. He worked at HP as an engineer and transitioned into Human Resources, held several positions in American and Japanese electronic companies, and his last position was a director of human resources.
He also consulted with several companies in management coaching and team building.
