In this collection, students will critically analyze photographs depicting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII. Students will analyze two photographs: the first by photographer Clem Albers, who was one of several photographers commissioned by the War Relocation Authority to document the process of forced removal and incarceration; the second, a photograph by Mori Shimada, taken in 1942-1943 while Shimada and his family were forcibly incarcerated in Heart Mountain, Wyoming. 

Also included are resources further contextualizing the photographs including articles, lesson plans, a 1943 Office of War Information film, additional photographs from the War Relocation Authority, and other photographs taken by Japanese Americans while forcibly incarcerated during WWII.
