We Were Not the Enemy/Author
Heidi Gurcke Donald, a retired public health nurse, graduated from the University of California in San Francisco. She is cofounder of the German American Internee Coalition (GAIC), a group of German Americans and Latin Americans interned by the United States during World War II, their families, and friends. For more information, see www.gaic.info. In March 2009, she testified at the House Judiciary Committee’s Immigration Subcommittee hearing on the Wartime Treatment Study Act, introduced for the 4th time that year. (If enacted, a newly authorized Congressional commission would examine the WWII program that interned civilians of European ethnicity.) Congress again failed to act. http://www.gaic.infohttp://www.gaic.info/ShowPage.php?section=Legislative_Efforts&page=Indexshapeimage_7_link_0shapeimage_7_link_1
