Special Event: A Personal Story of the Japanese Internment of World War II

Jim Tanimoto, a lifelong resident of California and a U.S. citizen, was forcibly relocated to Tule Lake, California, in 1942 by the U.S. government due to his Japanese ancestry. He and his family remained interned until the conclusion of World War II.

At the age of 102, Mr. Tanimoto will share his personal experiences and recollections of this pivotal chapter in our nation’s history. This program will serve as one of his final opportunities to provide insights into this significant period.
