Military Police at Manzanar
- Title
- Military Police at Manzanar
- Description
- Many of the photos in this exhibit were taken by government-hired photographers to document events. However, the government wanted to present a positive view of the incarceration. Photos that showed barbed wire, armed guards, machine guns, or any sign of resistance, like this one, were ‚"impounded.‚" The negatives were confiscated but, surprisingly, not destroyed. Photograph by Clem Albers, Manzanar Relocation Center, c. 1942. National Archives 537423.
