Manzanar - WWII Japanese Internment Camp - One Minute History

In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the California government pleads with Franklin D. Roosevelt to address what they call, the ‘Japanese Problem’. FDR signs Executive Order 9066, authorizing the relocation of over 110,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom are native-born American citizens. The Manzanar War Relocation Camp opens on March 21, 1942 and reaches a population of over 10,000 within a few months. For three years, detainees are forced to call this place home; they work, they play, they give birth and they die. When the Manzanar camp closes in 1945, detainees receive $25 and one-way train or bus fare, although most had nowhere to go. In the shadow of the Sierra Nevadas, the lone guard tower of Manzanar stands at its post off of highway 395; beckoning travelers to stop and learn about its history.
