"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. This is the day they were sent off to America’s own concentration camps, like 120,000 others all along the coast. 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.

Incredible amazing augmented photography tells the story of 120,000 Issei and Americans of Japanese descent being removed and exiled from their homes during WWII. You can relive that moment today through photography in this unique and compelling way.
