Eighty years ago, the Tanforan racetrack held Japanese Americans from the Bay Area destined for the @topazmuseum camp in Utah. A new art exhibit at the site captures the experience. @ShopsAtTanforan @sanbrunocafye @mercnews

A new program is trying to fill in the gaps in the knowledge about Japanese American incarcerees during World War II. Despite everything we know now, many gaps still remain. @DenshoProject

Eighty years ago today, the War Relocation Authority camp at @HeartMountainWY opened. It would hold 14,000 Japanese Americans over the course of World War II. The first incarcerees were members of the community who could help future prisoners acclimate to their new world. 1/3 https://t.co/voRtnkvMdl

The War Relocation Authority created community councils in all of the prison camps for Japanese Americans. First, only Nisei were allowed to be members, but that was opened to the Issei generation. On 8/11/45 came this notice of the final council. 1/2 https://t.co/cj0ZYLsj9D

#OTD in 1945 readers of the @HeartMountainWY Sentinel received news that former incarceree Noboru Tsutsumi had been awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Italy. He was one of the first incarcerees to enlist in the @USArmy in 1943. His mother died in camp a year earlier. https://t.co/aKVMMeYVbb
