Between 1942 and 1945, thousands of Japanese Americans - regardless of citizenship - were evacuated from their homes and relocated to interment camps across the country, by order of the U.S. Government. This lesson is part of the Teaching with Documents series at the National Archives and offers educators many helpful tools to teach about Executive Order 9066 and the lived experience of Japanese relocation during WWII. Resources include nearly two dozen primary documents, photographs, letters, and other ephemera that may be used to engage students in critical analysis. For instance, one teaching activity of note encourages students to make connections to the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution, while a vivid photograph of teenagers standing on the High School Campus at Heart Mountain, Wyoming, reveals what daily life might have been like in the camps.
