#10 Lordsburg, New Mexico - US Army
Silk screen on acetate, yarn fringe.
Lordsburg was the location of an US Army internment camp from 1942 through 1945. Japanese, Italian and German persons were kept at this location.
An incident at the camp where two Japanese men were shot and killed was never fully investigated. Although the soldier responsible claimed the two were trying to escape, at least one of the men had a severe back condition that prevented him from running. They were shot in the back.
