In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where the US government incarcerated Japanese immigrants ineligible for citizenship and Japanese American citizens during World War II.
Manzanar National Historic Site invites the public to a weekend of special events, as part of the North American Japanese Garden Association’s signature “Gardens for Peace” project.
