Order 9066 chronicles the history of the WWII Japanese American Incarceration through vivid, first-person accounts of those who lived through it. The series explores how this shocking violation of American democracy came to pass, and its legacy in the present.

  1. Episodio 1

    The Roundup

    Japanese warplanes bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Hours later, the FBI began rounding up people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast. This episode explores the history of anti-Asian prejudice in the United States that laid the groundwork for an assault on Japanese American communities after Pearl Harbor. Narrated by veteran actor Sab Shimono.

  2. Episodio 2

    The Order

    After Pearl Harbor, pressure grew to forcibly relocate all persons of Japanese ancestry from the Pacific coast. This episode tells the story behind FDR's decision to sign Order 9066, and Japanese Americans recall the painful process of leaving their lives and belongings -- and even their family pets -- behind.

  3. Episodio 3

    Prison Cities

    In the first months of incarceration, Japanese Americans were hit with the humiliating conditions of camp life. The U.S. government denied that people of Japanese ancestry living in the "assembly centers" were prisoners, but the first summer in these camps proved otherwise.

  4. Episodio 4

    Gaman - Making Do

    It was a time to persevere in the face of the unendurable, and to do so with dignity. The Japanese term for that is Gaman.

  5. Episodio 5

    Fighting for Freedom

    More than 33,000 Japanese American men and women served in World War II. They fought as soldiers in Europe, and as translators in the Pacific.

  6. Episodio 6

    Resistance

    The Japanese Americans who protested their incarceration and defied the pressure to prove their patriotism.

  7. Episodio 7

    Leaving Camp

    At the end of 1944, the U.S. government lifted the order barring people of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast. Many people freed from camp faced racism and poverty as they tried to rebuild their lives. Some found that leaving camp was even harder than being sent there.

  8. Episodio 8

    Seeking Redress

    Japanese Americans incarcerated during World War Two demand that the federal government take account of their suffering and make reparations.
