VLOG: "The Ireichō" Day of Remembrance

Honoring History: The Ireicho National Tour Begins in D.C.

We went to the Navy Memorial Visitor Center in Washington, D.C., for a powerful and moving event—the kickoff of the national tour of The Ireicho – Book of Names. This extraordinary book documents every person of Japanese ancestry incarcerated during World War II.

As the Ireicho travels across the country, the public is invited to engage in a meaningful act of remembrance—stamping beneath the names of over 125,000 former incarcerees as a way to honor their history and resilience.

This is more than just a book—it's a chance to recognize the past, reflect on its impact, and ensure these names are never forgotten.
