Reviews
"To dwell in this book's pages is to experience dismay, sadness and sobering revelation. Finally though, a century later, internment stories are being told, making our nation's history more authentic." -- Steven Ross
"The book is a melding of Semchuk's personal journey, visual art, narrative, and recall.... The Stories Were Not Told is an intriguing composition, stimulating thought and offering an artistic integrative approach to history and culture.... This grounding of the human experience through a variety of approaches reveals more than history per se."

"[The author] underscores the linkage between the past and the present and the potential implications of not doing the individual and collective "memory work" that forces us to confront our personal and national histories in a meaningful and respectful fashion. It is a powerful invocation-and one we should heed." -- Jim Mochoruk * Prairie History *
