Kevin Stoda reads and shares a story that he  wrote around 1995 bout the time of the big 50th anniversary celebrations of the end of WWII.  He was in Japan at the time the story unfolds but memories referred to include an interview with a former OSS operative who had worked as a guard and trial translator in Dachau and Nuremburg. Other memories include  visits to China, homestays with Japanese and French families.  The writing discusses also the frustrations we have when trying to learn about others around the world but having trouble negotiating meaning with one another.
