GVJCI DAY OF REMEMBRANCE: Then and Now: From WWII Incarceration to Today's ICE Raids - Justice Demands Our Voice
SAT, FEB 28, 2-4PM
GVJCI Main Hall

GVJCI will hold its annual Day of Remembrance event in commemoration of the forced removal and incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans during WWII.  DOR commemorates the signing of Executive Order 9066, which caused the mass removal and imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II. 

This year’s program will feature the film Betrayed: Surviving an American Concentration Camp, followed by a panel discussion which contextualizes the historical events and examines the parallels with present day events involving ICE raids on immigrant communities.

This program is free to attend. RSVP not required.  For more  information, please visit the GVJCI website.
