- More than 125,000 people of Japanese ancestry were wrongfully incarcerated in the United States during World War II. Now a 1,000-page book called the Ireichō collects those names for the first time, allowing visitors to honor their loved ones and ensuring that dark chapter of history will never be forgotten. The experience of seeing the book at the Japanese American National Museum is a personal one for NBC News’ Emilie Ikeda: her own family members were held in the camps. She shares their stories and stamps their names in the book to honor their painful experiences.

So powerful, thanks for sharing.
For real. So inspirational
So powerful and emotional.
There was also 10,000 American Italians who were sent to internment camps in WW2.
What do you call an internment camp for Italians and Mexicans? Pasta e fagiole!
Sometimes America overreacts - shooting down errant middle school balloon science projects with half million dollar missiles or incarcerating thousands of American citizens based on nothing but the shape of their facial features.
Don't be fooled, something like this can happen again.
We must always remember and not forget
if we keep censoring history and banning books, then yeah.
Amazing. And my other tabs here are vloggers I follow livestreaming from Japan. As I'm watching this.
I have friends whose parents were interred in the camps. I will check to see if their names are in the book.
I would presume they are.
I honor these best of Americans: the Japanese Americans who maintained their dignity, respect, and patience during World War II. My niece and nephew’s grandfather was the first American of Japanese descent to become an officer in the U.S. Army. He was, in every sense of the word, a World War II American hero.
My mom knew Emile's grandparents. I know Emile's family through Christmas cards from her grandma, Eiko Ikeda.
My grandmother, German, made sure not to speak during WWII. Only way she could be identified
History preservation.
Agreed to move forward and improve
Who would do such a thing. Uh oh CRT.
what do you mean that? What point are you trying to make?
It's Black History Mouth .... No Tangibles No Vote
Japanese Americans are still around 👩🏻👨🏻

They should explain why this happened.
It's because a Japanese couple helped a Japanese pilot that participated in Pearl Harbor and they where trying to get him back to Japan.
Don't ever forget WW2 was a war of nationalities not a war of politics or money.
I don't know about the couple and the pilot, but respectfully disagree with your last statement. There was a lot of money and politics involved. There's been much discussion over the years of how there were a few people up the proverbial ladder who knew Pearl Harbor was coming and let it happen anyway b/c of economic pressures. The war pulled our country out of a recalcitrant depression. Though there was no excuse for the inequities that happened here, spying was a legitimate concern. There's a good book that touches on this -
"Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand tells the true story of Louis Zamperini, an iconoclastic world class runner who had helped a Japanese fellow in LA, was caught on a raft on the Pacific for weeks, taken prisoner then later helped by that same person in Japan. Turned out he had been a spy. It's quite a story. Can recommend the book - Ms. Hillenbrand is a good writer.
You really need to learn your History.
@fernandofrias6535 That is a bad take. White people running the government of the United States were very financially motivated to find an excuse to confiscate Japanese American property to give it away to white citizens.
Not just that. Japanese sent their children to be raised in Japan, knows as Kibei Nisei.
So every Japanese American had immediate family members in Japanese Imperial Army.
Remember that by the 1930s Japan was occupying most of Asia.
No not a Japanese couple, an American couple. If a white couple of German ancestry helped German attackers, they would never have interned all white Americans of German ancestry
Can't trust them
Sorry you feel that way. The Generational Racism runs deep in your tribe, huh?
