This is a memorial to the tens of thousands of Japanese Americans interned in the United States after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Forced to relinquish their liberties, civil rights, livelihoods, and most of their possessions, over 110,000 Japanese Americans (more than 70 percent American citizens) were sent to live in detention camps. The Manzanar and Tule Lake Internment Camps in California held 22,000, including children, between 1942 and 1945.
