Shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, fear and suspicion surrounding Canadians of Japanese heritage hit a fever pitch. The Canadian government ordered the evacuation of nearly 23,000 Japanese Canadians to internment camps.

It was not until 1949 that Japanese Canadians were able to move freely again in society. Experience this frightening time through the eyes of those that lived through it, and learn about the key events, people, and decisions surrounding this period in Canadian history.
