In 1942, in reaction to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women & children to leave their homes and unjustly imprisoned them in remote, military-style camps. The National Park Service has preserved several camp locations as a reminder to this and future generations of the fragility of American civil liberties. Densho.org preserves irreplaceable firsthand accounts of survivors, to explore principles of democracy and promote equal justice for all.
