Wednesday, December 06, 2023 – Most Americans are aware of what happened at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. That tragic act that killed over 2400 soldiers and wounded 1200 more, would bring America into WWII. Just 10 weeks later President Franklin Delano Roosevelt would sign an executive order that would incarcerate people of Japanese descent, under suspicion as enemies, confining them to several internment camps across the country. One of those prison camps was right here in North Dakota.
