If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again.

Also a good day to read or watch George Takei on the subject of his internment.
Canada has a similarly shameful past as @edwiebe has pointed out above.
@ct_bergstrom Thank you for sharing this. The quotes are as chilling as the photographs.
“A viper is nonetheless a viper wherever the egg is hatched—so a Japanese-American, born of Japanese parents—grows up to be a Japanese, not an American.” — LA Times
"The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken.” — General John L. DeWitt
"for we were powerless. We had to do what the government ordered." — Misuyo Nakamura

The PBS documentary Betrayed: Surviving an American Concentration Camp gives a lot of information about the community feelings before the decision was made and upon release.

There is another called Children of the Camps that focuses on 6 children's experience

@ct_bergstrom Yes agreed. This is happening right now in Gaza. Everyone needs to urge Biden to stop supporting this right now -- where millions are displaced and heading straight into death, all funded by US taxpayers!
Palestinian hospital authorities and witnesses say an Israeli airstrike slammed into a residential building right next to the main medical center in Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis. Health officials say Tuesday's strike wounded at least seven people. Nasser Hospital sits in the western part of Khan Younis, an area inside the Israeli-designated humanitarian “safe zone.” That's where Palestinians have been told to flee. However, the head of the U.N. humanitarian office for the Palestinian territories says there are bombings even in so-called safe areas, like the one Wednesday. The Israeli military estimates some 1.9 million people are now clustered in central Gaza.
