This fully rebuilt, technology-enhanced signature exhibit
focuses on the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans
during WWII and explores how they responded to their forced
removal and incarceration, ranging from quiet endurance to heroic
valor to conscientious resistance. The exhibit also highlights
Japanese Americans’ ongoing efforts to ensure no other groups
experience similar civil rights violations.
All-new interactive displays, and never-before-exhibited
artifacts from survivors supplement visitor favorites from the
previous installation including a video introduction by George
Takei and a replica barracks and guard tower. New features
include a theater experience and an AI-based component allowing
visitors to hold virtual conversations with three incarceration
survivors.
