Imagine being forced to leave your home — potentially for years — with only a few hours’ notice. What would you bring? Who would you tell? The residents of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, woke up to this impossible demand from the U.S. government on May 9, 1942, and were shipped off to concentration camps where they would live for years — for some, through the end of World War II. BeHere / 1942: A New Lens on the Japanese American Incarceration at the @jamuseum sheds light on those dark days through the photographs of Dorothea Lange and Russell Lee, shown in hyper-enlarged form, reimagined as video, and presented in a variety of immersive media formats. You can view these works and much more in the new Japanese American National Museum digital guide on the #BloombergConnects app. 🔗 in bio. ---- #BeHere1942 #Manzanar #LosAngeles #LittleTokyoLA #WorldWarII #WWII #WW2History #WW2Pictures #JapaneseAmericanNationalMuseum #JANM #AmericanHistory #HistoricalPhotographs #LosAngelesHistory #USHistory #HistoricalPhotography #PhotographyExhibition 📸: Two young girls being filmed as they wait to board a train that will take them to Owens Valley (Manzanar).
