During WWII, Idaho was a hotbed for internment camps. These incarceration facilities housed people of Japanese ancestry, no matter what their backgrounds. Some were disenfranchised American citizens, some were resident aliens, some were prisoners of war from Italy and Germany. This course will walk you through the halls of these camps and the lives they contained. Then we'll take a birds-eye view, and place the Idaho  eexperience in the larger context of incarceration throughout the country for people of Japanese, Italian or German ancestry.
