This program looks at what the process of the incarceration entailed for Japanese American families, living in the “Exclusion Area” of the West Coast of the United States. The United States Government sent these families east from the Assembly Centers in Washington, Oregon, and California to ten permanent incarceration camps in seven states. This program examines the life and spirit of the Japanese people and what was necessary to maintain their families well being while confined in incarceration camps surrounded by barbed wire fence and armed guards.
