Event Details

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, all Japanese Americans living on the West Coast were forced from their homes and into relocation camps in remote areas of the country. Among over 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated, two-thirds of which were American-born and many of whom were children. Historian and librarian Sarah Okner, a descendant of internees, shares photos and details of daily life in an internment camp and the profound effects it had on those living there.
