 istoric 1952 book\, &lt;em&gt;Beauty Behind Barbed Wire: The Arts of the Japanes
 e in Our War Relocation Camps&lt;/em&gt;\, explored art and craft objects create
 d by persons of Japanese descent while wrongfully incarcerated in the Worl
 d War&amp;nbsp\;II American concentration camps. After many years of lying for
 gotten in storage\, the collection was inherited by a family friend of Eat
 on&amp;rsquo\;s\, who in April 2015 attempted to put it up for auction. An out
 cry arose from Japanese American community leaders and activists\, who ral
 lied successfully to stop the insensitive sale of these important artifact
 s of Japanese American history. Ultimately\, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.janm.org/
 press/release/395/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the collection was transferred to the 
 Japanese American National Museum for safekeeping&lt;/a&gt;.\n\nNow a traveling 
 display\, both physically and digitally\,&amp;nbsp\;&lt;em&gt;Contested Histories&lt;/e
 m&gt;&amp;nbsp\;is intended to help gather information about each individual obje
 ct so that the museum&amp;rsquo\;s efforts to preserve and catalog the collect
 ion can be as complete as possible.\n\n&lt;strong&gt;This live public program is
  free and open to all. Go to JANM&amp;rsquo\;s YouTube channel on Saturday\, M
