Hawaii's Forgotten Internment Camps

"After the war, there was a real silence and shame about this episode," says Brian Niiya of Densho: The Japanese American Legacy Project. "You still get a little reluctance in people to want to talk about this."
Niiya is referring to the internment of Japanese-Americans and Japanese foreign nationals in Hawaii. While the Roosevelt administration's internment of Japanese-American citizens on the West coast is well-documented, the story of Hawaii's internment camps was buried for years.
