2021 GVJCI Day of Remembrance
Date: Saturday, February 27, 2021
Time: 2-4PM
Admission: FREE but donations greatly appreciated
Join us for a week long Day of Remembrance (DOR) online event! This year’s theme will be “collections,” and from Feb. 22-26, the community will be introduced to various collections of resources about the Japanese American WWII experience in the form of stories, photographs, and videos all here on the GVJCI’s new archive webpage. From these collections, viewers will gain new knowledge in the experiences of Japanese Americans incarcerated during World War II. We hope the community will be able to walk away with a greater understanding of the history of that time period but also come to a strong realization about the importance of sharing and preserving their own stories. On Feb. 27th, we will be having a live online program via Zoom. The program will feature interviews from various individuals and organizations featured throughout the week of DOR.
Space is limited, so register today to reserve your spot! Those who are unable to attend the live program will be able to view the recording on this page after the event. Thank you for your support!
