Friends of Topaz Museum and the Topaz Museum

Friends of Topaz Museum

Friends of Topaz Museum is a group of predominately Japanese American descendants of World War II Topaz concentration camp incarcerees living in the San Francisco Bay Area. We support the Topaz Museum because we believe in its mission to preserve Topaz stories and to educate the greater public about this tragic chapter of American history, including the devastating impact the concentration camps had on its Japanese American survivors. We continually draw inspiration from the courage and resilience of our community, generations later.

Topaz Museum

The Topaz Museum's mission is to preserve the Topaz site and its World War II history; to interpret the impact of Topaz on the incarcerees, their families, and the citizens of Millard County; and to educate the public in order to prevent a recurrence of a similar denial of American civil rights. As part of our mission, we steward 634 acres of the one-square mile of the original Topaz site. In 2017, the Museum Board opened the Topaz Museum in Delta, Utah, to share the stories of Topaz’s history with all Americans, for generations to come.
