When Pearl Harbor shattered the nation, thousands of Japanese‑Americans were forced from their homes into horse stalls, fairgrounds, and hastily built camps surrounded by barbed wire. This episode follows families as they pack in hours, children say goodbye to pets, and communities try to build schools, gardens, and daily life amid fences and guard towers.

Through archival headlines, the shocking language of Executive Order 9066, the infamous loyalty questionnaire, and the courage of soldiers who fought abroad while their relatives were imprisoned, we trace how fear and racism overrode constitutional rights. From protest and tragedy at Manzanar to the resilience of the 100th/442nd Regiment, personal stories bring the human stakes into sharp relief.

Decades later, an official apology and reparations could not fully heal the losses—but the memory of these camps remains a warning: democracy can unravel when panic replaces principle. Listen as we unpack law, politics, resistance, and the long fight for justice that still echoes today.
