Abstract:

"Once Upon a Camp is an educational video series that teaches students of all ages about the life-long lessons of the unjust incarceration of Japanese Americans by the U.S. government during WWII. Each video is augmented with a teacher's guide. A collaborative project of the Japanese American National Museum with the UCLA Asian American Studies Center in conjunction with the Alhambra School District, the series was created and produced by the National Museum's Media Arts Center. Funding was provided by a grant from the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program with additional support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation."
