For the first time ever, the California Museum is offering visitors of all ages a chance to experience our powerful student program at this special weekend event. Tailored for general audiences, Behind Barbed Wire will examine the wrongful incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII through historical context and impactful personal stories from camp survivors and their descendants.

Attendees will enjoy a guided tour of the Museum’s award-winning signature exhibit about the Japanese American incarceration, “” The program also will feature a seminar presentation providing a deep look at life before, during, and after the incarceration, allowing participants to connect individual experiences to broader themes of justice, constitutional rights, and resilience.

Join us for an educational afternoon where you can ask questions, hear first-hand experiences from survivors, and learn more about a community who banded together in the fight for justice amidst hardship.
