Aleut evacuees honored at Dutch Harbor 75th anniversary ceremony

The World War II Museum in Dutch Harbor is filled with reminders of the impact the war had on the people who lived there.
More than 800 Aleuts were evacuated and sent to internment camps in Southeast because their homes became a military battleground; eighty-five would never make it back home. It’s a piece of history few people know about.
“I talked to the people and I was shocked that half of them didn’t know there was a war in Alaska,” said 91-year-old George Gordaoff.
