Camp Savage in Minnesota was home to the Military Intelligence Service Language School from 1942 to 1944. The school later moved to Fort Snelling, and across its Minnesota years it trained more than 6,000 linguists, most of them Japanese American Nisei, to translate documents, interrogate prisoners, and assist U.S. forces in the Pacific. Many served while their own families were being held in incarceration camps under Executive Order 9066. Their work made a major contribution to the Allied war effort. Today, the former Camp Savage site is commemorated with a historical marker recognizing both their military service and the civil rights injustices they endured.
