Description
Exhibit panel titled "and The End." One of two panels about "The Beginning" and "The End" of Manzanar Incarceration site (see ecm_nom_0400). Sixteen black and white and two newspaper clippings showing the departure from and closing of Manzanar. The panel contains several captions: population "Zero"; "Ghost Town"; "Population... Cumulative total ...... 11061 <1945>, Sept. 30, .... 2891; Oct. 25, .... 1520; Nov. 8, .... 833; Nov. 21, ...... 0." The panel was designed and assembled by Shiro "Shi" Nomura. The watermarked images were photographed by Toyo Miyatake and the copyright is held by his studio. These photographs have not been individually added to the archive. The Eastern California Museum Object ID for this item is 1994.80.5. A collection of panel collages created by Shiro and Mary Nomura, both of whom were incarcerated at Manzanar from 1942-1945, for the Eastern California Museum's Manzanar Project. The panels are comprised of photographs, artifacts, documents, and stories collected by "Shi" starting in the 1970s. Over the following 20 years, the Nomuras assembled more than 75 panels depicting their personal interpretation of Manzanar 'camp' life, major events, history, and site preservation efforts. In each panel Shi and Mary provide valuable first-person documentation from their experiences. These panels have been displayed at various community events, annual Manzanar Pilgrimages, and the Eastern California Museum (the permanent home of the collection).
