WWII internment of Japanese immigrant "enemy aliens" in the San Francisco Bay Area

Learn about these men and women, focusing on the Japanese immigrants held at Sharp Park and Angel Island in the Bay Area. Newly digitized documents available online create new opportunities to learn about their stories.
