DESCRIPTION
In cooperation with the California Museum, the seven part series (which here appears as one video) was designed as an educational tool for the purpose of teaching what had happened to Japanese Americans during WWII. The series includes interviews with those who had been in the camps as children, along with historical research, photos and summary.
As an asset for educators, each of the seven programs includes an overview and optional discussion questions and an extensive series bibliography. To access each part of the series as an individual film as well as the teacher resources please visit:
