In 1942, more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were removed from their homes along the West Coast of the United States after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. They were incarcerated in concentration camps in remote areas until 1945. One of those camps was in Topaz, Utah. Volunteers from the Friends of the Topaz Museum have gathered these stories of Topaz survivors, told by the survivors themselves or their descendants.
