This Pop-Up Museum explored the social and personal impact of the mass incarceration of 120,000 American Japanese during World War II. President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 authorized the mass forced removal of Japanese Americans on the West Coast.

Family objects were displayed from the Humboldt County Japanese American Community whose grandparents, mothers, fathers, uncles and aunts were imprisoned in Internment Camps during WWII.
