During WWII, about one hundred and twenty thousand Nikkei were sent to the internment camps. Most people in Seattle were forced to leave their homes and sent to the internment camp located in Hunt, Southern Idaho. The distance is about 10 hours by car. At the 11th Speaker Series presented by the Northwest Nikkei Museum, we will introduce life in the Minidoka Concentration Camp in JAPANESE. During the presentation, we will include historical artifacts from the camp, and invite Shokichi Tokita, the Nisei person who actually lived in the camp.
