( Phoenix, AZ ) An art installation devoted to a little known chapter of World War Two history wraps up next week at the Phoenix Public Library. Nearly one year to the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese bombed the Aleutian Islands in the Bering Sea. The U-S responded by evacuating nearly 900 Aleut Alaskans from their villages. Whole families were forcibly moved to campsites, where they were kept for three years.
