Together in Manzanar
The True Story Of A Japanese Jewish Family In An American Concentration Camp
In honor of the Ireichō: Books about Japanese-American Incarceration
The Ireichō Book of Names containing names of Japanese Americans incarcerated during WWII is traveling across the country from 2025- 2026 and will be exhibited and available for stamping at different former incarceration sites. "The Ireichō contains the first comprehensive listing of over 125,000 persons of Japanese ancestry who were incarcerated in US Army, Department of Justice, Wartime Civil Control Administration, and War Relocation Authority camps. Embedded into the very materiality of the Ireichō are special ceramic pieces made from soil collected by the project from seventy-five former incarceration sites from Alaska to Hawai‘i, Arkansas to California, and from almost every other region of the United States." https://www.janm.org/exhibits/ireicho Below is a list of books, both fiction and non fiction, about the experiences of detainees, many of whom were U.S. Citizens of Japanese descent, in the camps during World War II.
