About Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism During World War II
This memorial in the nation's capital recognizes American citizens of Japanese ancestry, and their parents, who stayed loyal to the United States during World War II even though they faced unjust treatment. The National Japanese American Memorial Foundation runs related outreach that celebrates heroic military service and teaches the public about wrongful incarceration. Its educational offerings include resources for teachers, a graphic novel, and a digital storytelling project.
