Hidden History: America’s Internment Camps

 During World War II, over 125,000 Japanese Americans were held in internment camps. However, it is not widely known that Germans and Italians were also forcibly removed to internment camps. Thousands of others lost property, were subject to nightly curfews, or were restricted from traveling more than five miles from their home. We will explore the treatment of “enemy aliens” and what records are available to researchers.
