The Natick, Massachusetts Museum of World War II’s “Why We Still Remember” describes the mood in the U.S. and Japan leading up to and just after the Pearl Harbor attack of 07 December 1941.
Museum founder Kenneth Rendell tells reporter Philip Marcelo that the principal themes of the exhibit–rising Japanese nationalism and U.S. complacency–“should resonate today in the times of the Islamic State group and other foes.” Rendell believes our inattention to Asia “explains a lot about why we were caught flat-footed.”
The display runs through 07 January 2017 and features artifacts “evoking the imperialistic ambitions of Japan in the years leading up to the attack.”
