Following the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan on December 7, 1941, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, forcing more than 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry (Nikkei) to leave their homes, jobs, and lives behind and relocate to one of ten prison camps spread across the nation. Minidoka, located in the high desert of Southern Idaho, is where Roger Shimomura and his
family, along with approximately 9,000 other Japanese Americans, were unconstitutionally imprisoned from 1942–1945.
