The National Park Service tells the story of a very bleak chapter in American history. In 1942, in reaction to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Japanese Americans and legal immigrants were unjustly imprisoned in these concentration camps until the end of WWII.

"Personal Justice Denied" Decades later, having determined the government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership, the government attempted to correct this violation of human rights by offering apologies and reparations to the survivors. The National Park Service has preserved several camp locations as a reminder to this and future generations of the fragility of American civil liberties. Densho.org preserves irreplaceable firsthand accounts of survivors, to explore principles of democracy and promote equal justice for all.

NP14 REVIEW: The Midwest Book Review 

Part of the "Discoveries... America National Parks" series, Japanese American Incarceration 1942-1945 is a documentary about places of twentieth-century American injustice on a colossal scale. In 1942, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the American government ordered the extended detention of 110,000 Japanese-Americans and legal immigrants. Men, women and children were forced from their homes, and kept alive in remote, militarized concentration camps.

Disease took a lethal toll on an imprisoned, innocent population - not a single one of them was ever convicted of espionage or sabotage. In order to remind the nation that such an egregious violation of civil and human rights must never happen again, The National Park Service has preserved several camp locations, while Densho.org records the firsthand account of concentration camp survivors. Gut-wrenching, profound, and an unforgettable lesson of history, Japanese American Incarceration 1942-1945 is a "must-have" for public library DVD shelves. 50 min. 

NP14 REVIEW: Video Librarian 
Discoveries...America National Parks: Japanese American Incarceration 1942-1945  (2013) 56 min. DVD or Blu-ray: $24.95. Bennett-Watt HD Productions. PPR. ISBN: 978-1-60490-172-6 (dvd), 978-1-60490-195-5 (blu-ray). This unusual entry in Jim and Kelly Watt’s acclaimed Discoveries...America National Parks series focuses on the incarceration "camps" that imprisoned Japanese-American U.S. citizens during World War II.

Combining archival materials with contemporary research (including video interviews of camp survivors), the film touches on the history of how and why peaceful Japanese-Americans were considered dangerous following Japan's air assault on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. But most of the attention here is on what has been done by federal and state governments to preserve and restore such camps as Poston, Manzanar, Minidoka, and Tule Lake.

In some cases, little remains in such places aside from signs commemorating the former imprisonment of innocent people. At other sites, however, much of the basic camp infrastructure is still in place, albeit in disrepair. Viewers learn about efforts to make these places a draw for visitors—largely as a reminder of a shameful chapter in U.S. history, but also as a symbol of the resilience of Japanese-Americans who lost everything (including their freedom). Full of powerful personal testimonies, this eye-opening travelogue is highly recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh) 

NP14 REVIEW: Booklist 
Japanese American Incarceration, 1942-1945. Bennett-Watt, DVD, $24.95. (9781604901726) During WWII, more than 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants were rounded up and detained in "remote, military-style" camps.  This new entry in the ongoing Discoveries... America National Parks series begins with period footage and stills of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.  The National Park Service has preserved some of these camps, including Manzanar, as National Historic Sites.  

The Manzanar site features a well-designed visitor center filled with exhibits showcasing the detainees' experiences.  Interviewed staff share emotional stories, and the director of a project that collects oral histories explains the importance of documenting this painful event in U.S. history.  Most of the buildings are no longer standing, but Japanese rock gardens remain as testimonials to the courageous men and women who maintained their culture despite the dire circumstances.  Several other camps under development for similar memorials are briefly visited in this well-organized program, which mixes history and travel information. -- Candace Smith.

Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!
