This year marks the 10th anniversary of Honouliuli National Historic Site’s designation as a national park—a milestone in preserving one of Hawaiʻi’s most powerful World War II stories.

Hidden in a gulch on Oʻahu, Honouliuli was the largest and longest-used incarceration site in Hawaiʻi during the war. It unjustly held more than 400 Japanese American and European American civilians under martial law, along with over 4,000 prisoners of war from Okinawa, Korea, Japan, and Italy. Today, the park serves as a reminder of the impact of war on civil liberties and human rights.

To commemorate this anniversary, Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library is hosting a guest speaker from Honouliuli NHS on September 6th at 1:00, pop-up exhibit will be on display throughout the month, as will a book display highlighting Honouliuli NHS’s recommended reading list

To learn more, visit the U.S. National Park Service’s website and follow @HonouliuliNPS on Honouliuli NPS Facebook and Honouliuli NPS Instagram.
