Manzanar, one of the ten internment camps established for Japanese Americans during World War II, closed in November 1945. After the war, the camp was vacant, and the land eventually returned to its original owners, with the camp's buildings being dismantled or moved elsewhere.
Non-Japanese and Japanese Americans were brought to Manzanar during World War II primarily due to Executive Order 9066, which authorized the internment of Japanese Americans in response to wartime fears of espionage and sabotage. This led to the forced relocation of about 120,000 individuals, the majority of whom were U.S. citizens. Non-Japanese individuals, including some Japanese allies and administrative staff, were also present in the camp for various reasons, including managing the internment process and providing support services. The internment experience at Manzanar highlighted the broader issues of civil rights and racial discrimination in the United States during that era.
