Join Dr. Heather Zbinden as she discusses Japanese internment camps Rohwer and Jerome. During WWII, the U.S. government forcibly removed over 120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes on the West Coast. They were incarcerated in camps throughout the nation, where many remained until the end of the war. Located in Southeast Arkansas, Rohwer and Jerome held nearly 17,000 Japanese Americans between 1942 and 1945. Dr. Zbinden provides details of the internment and showcases artwork created during this time.
