Description:

Japanese internment camps were established during World War II by FDR through his Executive Order 9066. From 1942 to 1945, people of Japanese descent would be interred in isolated camps. Enacted in reaction to Pearl Harbor, the Japanese internment camps are now considered one of the most atrocious violations of American civil rights.
