Stories from daily life at Minidoka War Relocation Center north of Twin Falls will be presented tonight at The Community Library in Ketchum.

Staff and Friends of Minidoka will present their new publication, “Education and Freedom at Minidoka: The Diary of Superintendent Arthur Kleinkopf,” at 5:30 p.m. tonight—Thursday, Feb. 26—at the library.

The new publication presents a rare firsthand account of life at Minidoka where Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II after being removed from their homes in Seattle and other places on the West Coast.

Copies of the publication will be available to purchase at the event.

This project is supported by Idaho Humanities Council, Jones Family Fund of the National Philanthropic Trust, Duane Minoru Yamamoto Memorial Fund with Friends of Minidoka and Minidoka National Historic Site in partnership with Twin Falls Public Library and Boise State University Albertsons Library Special Archives.

To join in person, go to https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/15471832. The program will also be livestreamed at https://vimeo.com/event/5754695 and available to watch later on the library’s Event Archive.
