As part of Densho’s “30 Oral Histories for 30 Years” series, this interview with Peggie Nishimura Bain offers a vivid reflection on creativity, ingenuity, and survival under incarceration, revealing how everyday acts of creation carried meaning far beyond their materials.

Today, on Fred Korematsu Day, we honor the man whose refusal to comply with the mass removal and confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II became one of the most significant challenges to government authority in U.S. history.

During his first Christmas at the Minidoka concentration camp in Idaho in 1942, Tsuguo “Ike” Ikeda remembers that the holiday spirit still found a way to shine.

Each year, February 19th brings us back to a crucial date in 1942. On that day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, a decision that authorized the forced removal and incarceration of over 125,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of them U.S. citizens.

Eiichi Edward Sakauye filmed life at the Heart Mountain concentration camp in Wyoming between 1943 and 1945 on 8mm film. Decades later, he revisited that footage, offering voice-over reflections that bring these images into fuller view.

Densho Oral History Program Manager Virginia Yamada describes the importance of documenting present-day voices and experiences as we live through historically significant and unprecedented events that demand critical attention and documentation.

As part of Densho’s “30 Stories for 30” Years series, this segment from Mike Murase’s oral history centers on the sentiment that inspired him to help found Gidra, the groundbreaking Asian American publication, which is now viewed as an introduction to Asian American activism.

“I got a knot in my throat to try to keep from crying.” For the eighth installment of our 30 Stories for 30 Years series, William Marutani reflects on the emotional weight of witnessing testimonies during the 1981 Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) hearings.

“When you walk through that gate, you know you lost something.”

As the first installment of Densho’s “30 Oral Histories for 30 Years” series, this interview with Dale Minami offers insight, challenge, and inspiration, inviting us to reflect on how history shapes who we are and what we owe one another.

#Newsnight Donald Trump surrounds himself with frauds who think he's Jesus, so it's hardly surprising that the crackpot has started believing it. All of these #MAGA frauds abuse Christianity in a most disgusting way.
