The Life and Death of a Japanese Internment Camp

Midday on WNYC | Feb 27, 2018

Photographer Stan Honda talks about the book, Moving Walls: The Barracks of America’s Concentration Camps, which was written by Sharon Yamato and features his black and white photography. This book is follow-up to a book published in 1995 about a project initiated by the Japanese American National Museum to preserve two barracks from the Heart Mountain confinement center. The book explores the fate of these barracks after the end of World War II, which went from housing Japanese prisoners to being used by homesteaders in the years after the war.

This segment is guest hosted by Arun Venugopal.
