Go For Broke National Education Center presents "Valor in Confinement," a project that explores the stories of soldiers within each of the 10 War Relocation Authority camps during WWII. With support from the National Park Service’s Japanese American Confinement Sites grant, the highlights of the project include a listing of soldiers by each site and curated video clips from the Hanashi Oral History Collection. The project provides further overview and insight into the difficult decisions made by young men to serve their country, even as their families remained incarcerated behind barbed wire.
