About
Densho—a Japanese term meaning “to pass on to the next generation”—is an online archive and public history organization that documents the stories of Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II. We offer these irreplaceable firsthand accounts, coupled with historical images and teacher resources, to explore Japanese American history within a longer trajectory of American racism, xenophobia, and scapegoating in order to speak out against injustices both past and present.
