As we begin Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’re honoring stories that have shaped our nation's history. Located on the island of Oʻahu, Honouliuli National Historic Site was once the largest and longest-operating World War II internment camp in Hawai‘i. It held Japanese Americans, Japanese nationals, and others labeled as “enemy aliens,” as well as prisoners of war. The site, now preserved by the NationalParkService, stands as a powerful reminder of the fragility of civil liberties in times of conflict and the resilience of those who endured injustice. Honouliuli invites reflection, understanding, and a commitment to protecting the freedoms of all people. #AANHPIHeritageMonth #AsianAmerican #NativeHawaiian #PacificIslander #Honouliuli #NationalParks #CivilLiberties #WorldWarIIHistory #NeverForget 📸: NationalParkService Images: Archival photos of the site and current-day landscapes of Honouliuli
