Overcoming Suffering through Love and Happiness

Through the adversity of being ripped out her home, to a life limited to the inside of a detainment center, Yuri Kochiyama prevails hardship with love, support, kindness, and a limitless positive mindset inspiring thousands of Nisei Americans. "I will strive to live in such a way that what I do, how I think and what i say, will inspire them in a Christian faith rather than destroy it...They must be thoughtful and considerate of the feelings of others, be understanding of others' way of life; kindly to everyone, not just a select few; honest with themselves as well as with others; generous in what they they possess; courageous when no one is about; and in short; do unto others as they would have others do unto them" -Yuri Kochiyama
