and learn about a WW2 dark sides for US Japanese citizens.
In
1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and
children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style
camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where Japanese
American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were incarcerated during World
War II. The camp hold around 10,000 people and was officially closed only at the
war end.
Interesting to take the internal drive and see the camp remaining up front.
