Life at Manzanar, one of the internment camps for Japanese Americans during World War II, reflected their Asian background through communal living, cultural practices, and resilience. Interned families maintained their traditions by organizing events such as festivals, religious services, and classes in Japanese language and arts, preserving their cultural identity despite their confinement. The camp’s structure also mirrored aspects of Japanese society, emphasizing community and cooperation, as residents worked together to create gardens and other communal spaces. Ultimately, the experiences at Manzanar highlighted both the challenges of internment and the strength of their cultural heritage.
