removed from their homes and incarcerated without due process of law. Although
little remains of the barbed-wire fences and tar-papered barracks, the
Minidoka concentration camp once held over 13,000 Japanese Americans in the
Idaho desert. Minidoka preserves their legacy and teaches the importance of
civil liberties.
