Inside-Out: Japanese Americans during World War II

Overview

From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: This exhibit explores the history of nearly 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent who were removed from communities along the West Coast and in southern Arizona during WWII through materials created and used by those who lived in the Relocation Centers. The pieces in this exhibit highlight the challenges and contradictions faced by those confined within the detention camps.
