Japanese Americans Forcibly Removed from Berkeley, 1942 – 1946

This digital map includes the names and homes of the over 1,100 Japanese and Japanese Americans removed from Berkeley and incarcerated in camps in 1942. The map was created by Elina Juvonen, a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate, based on data assembled by BHSM Board Member Michael Several.

If you would like to see the data in full, please see this spreadsheet. The spreadsheet includes notes added by visitors to this website.
Note: The most accurate way to find someone’s address is to search first in the spreadsheet by name, where you will find their address. Once you have found their address, you can input it into the Google Map search bar.
