/PRNewswire/ The National Veterans Network (NVN) has been awarded a $348,867 grant from the Department of Interior National Park Service Japanese American.
The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is something many don’t know about. The descendants of those imprisoned at Amache are sharing their family stories and helping to shed light on this dark period in history.
