Synopsis
This powerful collection presents photographs from the Manzanar internment camp, where Japanese Americans were unjustly imprisoned during World War II. It features the work of government-hired photographers like Dorothea Lange, whose "sympathetic" images were suppressed, alongside the stark realities captured secretly by internees Toyo Miyatake and Jack Iwata. Together, these images offer a crucial, multi-faceted look at a dark chapter in American history, revealing the resilience and suffering within the camp walls.
