Ephemera. A movie ticket for the Japanese internment camp in Idaho, which housed over 9,000 Japanese over the three years of its existence, both citizens and resident aliens.

The Minidoka War Relocation Center was in operation from 1942–45 and one of ten camps at which Japanese Americans, both citizens and resident "aliens," were interned during World War II. Under provisions of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066, all persons of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the West Coast of the United States. At its peak, Minidoka housed 9,397 Japanese Americans, predominantly from Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. (Wikipedia).
