Photos of Japanese-American Internment Camps

Photos of WWII Japanese-American Relocation and Internment Camps
John M. Pfau Library highlights the many struggles that Japanese-Americans had to face when they were forced from their homes during World War II. Photos are gathered of the evacuation and the many years spent in internment camps.
Home in the Barracks
The barracks the Japanese American internees had to live in were created with tarpaper walls, and little to nothing else. Internees often made their own furniture and other items to make their space more comfortable. These barracks did not even meet the minimum requirements for military housing.
