Manzanar - WWII Japanese Relocation Camp - One Minute History

In response to California's plea, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, leading to the relocation of over 110,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens. The Manzanar War Relocation Camp opened in 1942, housing over 10,000 detainees who lived, worked, and died there until its closure in 1945. Upon release, detainees received minimal support, often with nowhere to go. The site now stands as a historical reminder of this period.
