- On this episode of Searching for History, Erin and I visit the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial in Washington State and then travel all the way to Idaho to visit the Minidoka Internment Camp. On March 30, 1942, Japanese Americans (men, women and children) with only the possessions they could carry were ordered and forced to leave Bainbridge Island onto a waiting ferry. Their final destination was the Manzanar internment camp in California and some the Minidoka internment camp in Idaho. In these places they were incarcerated and forced to live out the duration of World War II. Join us as we learn about this tragic history while visiting the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial and the Minidoka National Historic Site.

Let us know what you think about the video and if you have ever visited these sites. Thanks for watching!
A tragic episode in American history. Entire families rounded up and sent to prison camps! If you are near either of these two sites, take the time to go and visit.
I was not aware that this memorial existed. Thanks for another great video about the history of Washington state. Thanks for also making the trip to Idaho.
You are very welcome. If you are ever on Bainbridge Island stop and take a look. Thanks for watching!
An appalling episode of American History, they should've been rightly called Concentration Camps. Thanks for covering it and it's great that you included both sites.
I knew it couldn't tell the story properly without going to Idaho. Thanks for watching.
Interesting information
Thanks for watching
I took my family up there about 2 years ago. Hubby had no idea this crap happened in our own backyard. Hit way to close to home for him. My kids didn't realize how awful this stuff was until they saw it their own eyes. Entire lives upended and destroyed.... normal every day people who just wanted to be left alone to live their lives- no different than you and I-all because we let fear take over.
Yes, a very tragic history. I think a lot of people are unaware. While I knew about this history, I was unaware of how large the number of people imprisoned was. Thanks for watching!
I heard that the Puyallup fairgrounds during WW2 was used as a Japanese camp They might have put them there before going to Idaho
I think so. It was a temporary location.
Canada did the same thing during ww2
Hey Ev, I was not aware that Canada did the same thing. Has the Canadian government preserved any of the camp sites?

I know it is a Wikipedia source but it should be fairly accurate. The island Tofino is where most of the Japanese settled and where their fishing 🎣 boats got confiscated and also their land. This intern turned into the resort area that now resides there.
Interesting read. Thanks for highlighting that history.
Mafia then MAFIA now !
Oh?
