  Films and books have explored the appalling circumstances of the 120,000 Japanese immigrants and their families, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, incarcerated in ten camps situated in eight western states from 1942 until 1946. This work constructs a personal testimony from hundreds of interviews with those who lived in the wartime camps.
