Minidoka: A Site of Conscience
 

Minidoka National Historic Site shares the stories of the 13,000 Japanese Americans incarcerated here during World War II. The site also holds lessons on civil and constitutional rights, racism, and the fragility of democracy in times of crisis. We are endeavoring to help teachers educate their students about this complex and difficult story.
