New Mexico History Museum, in partnership with the New Mexico Japanese American Citizens League, presents the third in a series related to the internment of Japanese males arrested and incarcerated in Santa Fe at one of New Mexico’s four Department of Justice (DOJ) internment camps during World War II.

The community is invited to listen to a panel discussion with interviewees from the documentary film “Community in Conflict” directed by Claudia Katayanagi, 1-4 p.m., Saturday, April 20, at New Mexico History Museum, 113 Lincoln Ave., in Santa Fe.

The movie focuses on the Santa Fe Internment Camp and its historical marker. Interviewees in the film and the daughter of a Bataan Death March survivor discuss with director Katayanagi the complex issues surrounding the Santa Fe Internment Camp Marker controversy.

This event is free with museum admission thanks to generous funding from the New Mexico Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the JACL Legacy Fund Grant.

This program offers participants an opportunity to learn more about the history of New Mexico Department of Justice’s Santa Fe internment camp during World War II and the complex issues around the current historical marker.
