Japanese internment in Australia during WWII

Sunday, October 30, 2022, 10:30 – 11:30am Join us for a free talk presented by special guest Dr Yuriko Nagata - honorary senior research fellow with the School of Languages and Cultures at University of Queensland - as she discusses the internment of Australian Japanese people during WWII and its consequences.During World War II, many Japanese people were interned in Australia. Most interns were civilian men, but some women and children were also interned in camps around Australia, often in remote locations.People were interned based solely on their nationality, even if they had done no wrong.For many of the first-generation Japanese settlers, internment came towards the end of their lives. He had no real place in a country that hated the Japanese and he felt collective racial responsibility for the war, and worse, the atrocities committed by his people.”After the talk, visitors can stay to explore the Memorial Galleries - embarking on a free interactive journey from World War I to today, before taking time to reflect on the remarkable stories of bravery and sacrifice in the tranquil parklands.Anzac Square Memorial Galleries is located at 285 Ann Street, Brisbane.
