Complexity of Perspectives 1 Complexity of Perspectives: WWII Historical Fiction of the Pacific Front With the establishment of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1993 in Washington DC, U.S. citizens have become more aware of the European front of World War II. The Atomic Bomb archive of the Museum of World War II in Boston, the USS Arizona Memorial at Honolulu, and the Japanese-American Redress in 2008 captured more attention in the Japanese- American internment between 1942 and 1945. However, U.S. citizens still have very limited understanding of the Pacific front of World War II involving Japan and other Asian countries.
