One of the most famous internment camps in California was the Manzanar War Relocation Center. Established during World War II, it housed around 10,000 Japanese Americans who were forcibly removed from their homes due to fears of espionage and sabotage after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Today, Manzanar is a National Historic Site, serving as a reminder of this dark chapter in American history and the injustices faced by Japanese Americans.
