Come watch and discuss this documentary about Minidoka, an American concentration camp located in Jerome, Idaho, where over 13,000 Japanese Americans from Alaska, Oregon and Washington State were unconstitutionally incarcerated during WWII.  Told through the voices of survivors of Minidoka, Betrayed explores the suspension of civil liberties during World War II, the long-lasting impact incarceration has on the Japanese American community, the rise of Japanese American activism in defense of the rights of others, and the relevance of this story today.

The screening will be followed by a panel conversation with Minidoka survivors Mary (Tanaka) Abo and Karen Hirai Olen, Kurt Ikeda, Director of Interpretation and Education at Minidoka National Historic Site and facilitated by Robyn Achilles, Executive Director of Friends of Minidoka.

This event is part of the Americans and the Holocaust exhibit and programming sponsored by Boise State University’s Albertsons Library.
