Description: The “Enemy Aliens” Exhibit will be displayed at Hornbake Library from February 20-March 15. The exhibit reveals the little-known stories of over 31,000 German, Italian, and Japanese immigrant residents and citizens of the U.S. seized from 18 Latin American nations who were imprisoned as “enemy aliens” in the U.S. in over 50 Department of Justice and Army camps and detention facilities during WWII. This poignant history carries broad lessons for issues of deportation and removal today.
