How can we learn from the past?

First poster from Smithsonian exhibit "Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and World War II."

“I am an American.” Why would someone put a sign up with this message? What sort of building is it posted on? Who might have posted it?

“It shouldn’t have happened to us. And it certainly shouldn’t happen to anyone else.” Who said this quote and what was his experience? What is he warning us about?

Compare and contrast what is depicted inside and outside the room in this painting.What do you consider to be ordinary and extraordinary? What could this tell us about what it was like to live in an incarceration camp?
