On This Page
Description
In 1942 more than 109,000 Japanese Americans, including 70,000 U.S. citizens, were picked up and sent to incarceration centers, most for the duration of the war. It was the shame of America-- and it was documented on film. Cahan and Williams provide a visual history which includes interviews with many of the people reflecting on their experiences.Tags

Un-American features the pictures of Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and other government photographers tasked with documenting the Japanese-American Internment process. Some of these images are being released to the public for the first time. This is an excellent resource for finding incredibly powerful pictures of the Internment process.
