"It is hereby ordered that from and after 12 o’clock noon, P.W.T., of Saturday, May 9, 1942, all persons of Japanese ancestry, both alien and non-alien, be excluded from that portion of Military Area No. 1 described as follows…" On Saturday May 9, 1942, the lives of Japanese Americans in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, were forever changed.

Using cutting-edge augmented reality technology, BeHere / 1942 invites you to engage with this terrible history in a new way. Take a look around you. It’s still here.
