In 1942, the United States ordered the internment of more than 110,000 Japanese men, women, and children in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were interned during World War II. Learn why Japanese citizens, Nisei, and Sansei were forced to leave their homes and businesses behind. Rudy Shappee will take you inside the Manzanar Relocation Center to share what life was like in one of these sites. View flyer: OASIS July
