Twin Falls College of Southern Idaho history professor Russ Tremayne speaks on Day of Remembrance, 1-2 p.m. Feb. 16 in College of Southern Idaho’s Shields Building, room 118. Tremayne discusses Executive Order 9066, the decree by then President Franklin D. Roosevelt that created internment camps and forced mass relocations. The Hunt Relocation Camp, now referred to as the Minidoka Internment Camp, became a temporary home for up to 10,000 of the estimated 120,000 Japanese Americans who were forced from their homes between 1942 and 1945. Free admission.
