Japanese-American Internment

Less well known than some of the other internment camps, Minidoka was located in an area of farms in southern Idaho.

• An "apartment" at the Minidoka, Idaho internment camp provided little privacy for its dwellers. One family, however, made their barrack-apartment a cozy place.
  
  
• At an Eden, Idaho farm - a few miles south of the Minidoka camp - beans flourish.
  
  
• Mothers read bedtime stories to their children, even when the home is strange and temporary.
  
  
• Two pals had fun in the snow at Minidoka.
  
  
• Students created art in a free-hand drawing class.

Tule Lake, in northern California, became one of the most notorious internment camps of all. Ethnic Japanese, considered disloyal to the United States, were rounded up and sent to Tule Lake. Not surprisingly, there was unrest in the camp.
