Manzanar National Historic Site
For Kids
 

Two thirds of the Japanese Americans interned at Manzanar were under the age of 18. Today, Manzanar is very relevant to children as we introduce ideas about civil liberties and what it means to be an American. We encourage families and school groups to visit Manzanar and share this experience with young people.

Stay tuned to this site as we develop web-based activities and information for kids.
