It's amazing to hear how her father was taken away first just like Jews in Germany were treated. If you listen to the stores of Jews who survived the camps this is what they describe. German police show up and take the males away first leaving a wife and kids behind. How do they even find police officers who do this kind of work. Don't think this can't happen again in America, or Canada it can happen. What is crazy how Canada wasn't even attacked by Japan the fact that Canada didn't do anything to compensate until 1988 when it was done in the US. They only got 21k dollars I don't understand why lawsuits were not filed afterwards.
"How do they even find police officers who do this kind of work. Don't think this can't happen again in America, or Canada it can happen." It's going to start happening again, just south of us starting in January 2025.

Thank you Mary for your story !! ♥ I'm sorry you and your family had to endure such dibolical treatment and conditions. My father was born during the internment. His older siblings, parents and grandparents endure similar stories. My father's family did not return to BC, but relocated to Ontario and have remained here for over 70 years ago. My thoughts... I see the reluctance to educate of the Japanese-Canadian Internment is yet another injustice. And if it is being taught how does history remember? Is it taught as a justification to WWII. Is it taught justification becuase of bombing of Pearl Harbor? Or is it taught the TRUTH of systemic racial discrimination against Japanese -Canadian which was effident PRIOR to WWII? How do you fight racial discrimination ? We aren't born with racial discrimination. We slowly learn it thru our families, our friends, our communities, our governemnt. It creeps into our beliefs and our rational. If nobody challenges racial attitudes, then it provides an endless mentality of intolerance and allows hatred to thrive. The 1988 Redress and Apology by the Canadian Government was the right thing to do, (BC Government did not apologize until 2012, some 70 years after). HOWEVER, many do not understand the full impact it has had on the Japanese-Canadians. Not only having their property, possessions and anything they could not carry, confiscated and sold. Their civil rights and freedoms were removed and were not reinstated until 4 years after the war ended. Families were assimilated to speak only English and the majority who were interened & relocated, lost their heritage of their Japanese language and their identity, they were forced to feel shame for who they were and therefore did not embrace it. Not one Japanese Canadian was charged for having loyalities to the Japanese Imperial Army. In fact, the RCMP & the Canadian Military did not agree with interning the Japanese-Canadian's and stated they posed no threat to Canadian security. But the BC government pushed the Federal Government to act. Of course as soon as the United States Interned Japanese Americans, then Canada did the same. The Japanese Americans did not endure the same barbaric conditions or treatment as the Japanese Canadians did. It takes courge for governments to take action & discuss the injustices of our histoy. As long as racial discrimination is an issue in our world, the REAL truths of our history needs to be taught in our classrooms today. How can we address racial discrimination, if nobody knows teaches the truth?
@@vothbetilia4862, "It had barely anything to do with racial discrimination". ??? Please do your research, then you will find the truth. Personal stories of the Japanese Canadain Internment have only recently being told some 70+ years later. The internment separated families, these are Canadian born families who were not welcome in their own country. The racial discrimination PRIOR to the bombing of Pearl Harbour will provide the setting and the degree of injustice the Japanese Canadian and Immigrants were treated. The bombing of Pearl Harbour was used by the British Columbian Government to do what they wanted to the Japanese Canadian. They NEVER EVER wanted them there. Everyone of Japanese descent (BORN IN CANADA or NOT) , had their land, their homes, their possessions taken. But more importantly they were shamed for being Japanese. It was the government who used the Pearl Harbor bombing and spoke of a national threat and to treat them worse than animals ! My father was Canadian, born in Canada. His mother was too Canadian, born in Canada. They did nothing wrong. And truth that history provides is there was NEVER any person of Japanese descent guilty or charged with acts of treason before or after the war for having alliances to Japan. Yet the British Columbian Government collaborated with the Federal Government of Canada that ALL people of Japanese descent they were a security threat or as you put it, "National Security". I am not excusing what the Japanese did by bombing Pearl Harbour. But the degree of what they did to the Japanese-Canadains was never justified. The Japanese-Canadian Internment was a definitely about pre-existing racial discrimination. Why didn't they gather up the Germans or Italians born in Canada? Japan, Italy & German were all on the same side during WWII. The United States did the same to their Japanese-Americans by intering them also, HOWEVER, they were allowed to have their possessions and land returned to them and the conditions were not as deplorable or as restricted. Why didn't Canada return the Japanese Canadians their land and their possessions or reunite their family? Why ? because they didn't want them in Canada to begin with. I don't know where you are from. But If you live in USA or Canada (we are 2 countries that are entirely made up of immigrants, the only true Canadians are the Indigenous-- which is another example of the Canadian government trying to racially aassimulate). Just say (hypotheticlly) we had another World War. Can you imagine, if whatever the country of your ancestors are from (I'm thinking my "Betilia" is Italian- forgive me if I'm wrong), our government decides it's a national security threat to have Italians roam freely throughout our country. They take away your home, your land, your personal assets. Everyone in the country hates you or fears you and doesn't want you there. There are no jobs for your "race"....and if you do find work, then you are paid well below your "white" co-workers. Imagine that for a minute. They gather you and your family then put you all into a dirty animal stalls, where you smell animal excretment, thousands of files, shared toliets in utter filth. Then from there, they ship you into remote camps where you are surrounded by baribed wire and men with guns ready to shoot if you try to leave where you have a slim chance of surviving if you did. Yet you and your family did nothing wrong other than be of Italian descent. Try to imagine. I am in my 50's now. I too thought the same as you, how terrible my father's family had to endure this, but it was b/c they were afraid of the war escalating to North America. I was never educated or heard the real truth about the Japanese-Internment experience until just a few years ago. I found my information online. I was ashamed that I never knew the truth. My father never spoke of it, nor did my grandparents. They needed to survive. They were told to go back to Japan or move east of the Rookies. They were not given their voting rights back until April of 1949, WWII ened Sept. 1945. My father's family moved to Ontario after being separated and settled into an English-French community with no other Japanese-Canadian families for support. Even after Brian Mulroney's redress & apology in 1988, education regarding the Japanese-Canadian Interment was not found. Hence why I never knew. And what I could find is they currently review (if taught) is a "side note", in Canadian History. This should be taught to our children and grandchildren as an entire section, in depth with all the wrongs of the racial discrimination & the truth. It's still being "sweeped under the rug". I found an article from as 2020, thetyee.ca/Analysis/2020/06/08/Japanese-Canadian-Internment-Camps/ The current British Columbia Premier, "John Horgan, began his media conference Wednesday with a statement about racism and the “blemishes” on B.C.’s history. Horgan mentioned the head tax used to restrict immigration from China and the Komagata Maru incident that highlighted Canada’s discriminatory policies around immigrants from India. But he failed to mention Japanese Canadians or the central role of the B.C. government in uprooting, incarcerating and exiling 22,000 Japanese Canadians between 1941 and 1949, stripping them of their homes, possessions and businesses. Canadians have already deemed this episode, initiated and carried out by the province together with the federal government, one of the most blatant examples of state-initiated racism in the history of Canada." How can the truth be told when the current leader of the Province of British Columbia intentionally omits to the Japanese Canadian Internment when speaking about "blemishes" on B.C.'s history. Unbelieveable! The 1988 Redress should have included education of the Japanese Canadian Internment as a manadatory subject across Canada. Not as a side note, but in it's full context. It is so important to educate everyone of the Japanese-Canadian Internment experience, not to blame, but to learn. When we learn, we understand, when we understand we do better.
