Their only crime was being of Japanese ancestry. For many years\, the inca rcerees and their descendants have struggles with the correct terminology to described what happened during the war\, but the Japanese American Nati onal Museum and other groups like the Japanese American Citizens Leasuge a s well as scholards of Asian American history have been clear on the issue : people of Japanese ancestry were placed in concentration camps. That phr ase continues to mean different things to different people\, though.\n\nAc tor and activist George Takei\, a camp survivor himself\, will join JANM C hief Curator Karen Ishizuka in a discussion of the use of the term "concen tration camp" throughout history\, how and why JANM came to use the term\, and its use today with regard to refugees and migrants.&nbsp\;\n\nThis pr ogram is free\, but RSVPs are required.&nbsp\;\n\n<a href="https://9644p.b lackbaudhosting.com/9644p/tickets?tab=2&amp\;txobjid=cbd2e8dd-40f9-4559-aa 68-8c4f182579a8" target="_blank">RSVP NOW &gt\;&gt\;</a>\n\nThe event will be held in the Tateuchi Democracy Forum.\n\nCheck <a href="http://www.jan m.org/events/#11" target="_blank">janm.org</a> for updates.
