I never asked my Great Grandma about her experience in the camps. She passed away in 1984 and was curious. She was a Sewing Instructor in the camps up in Utah.
Let this movement of the Japanese from the west coast during the war with Japan be in context of the Japanese at at the same time warring and killing with brutality all over eastern- and southeast-asia. The internment also came after the incident where Japanese-Americans turned traitorous after contact with a downed Japanese pilot on Hawaii. Check out the Ni’ihau Incident.
@@Baron_Harkonnen You say that but back then the Democrats were more equivalent to modern day Republicans. But it doesn't matter who did it, it will always be inexcusable
FlightlessChicken I know what you mean, but you’re referencing an earlier period. FDR was something resembling a modern democrat with his emphasis on social safety nets. To all in this comment section though, I believe imposing modern political identities on the situation is unhelpful. Both modern parties differ from there 40s counterparts, and at the end of the day it wasn’t one party but the US government that shoulders the responsibility for this event. I think it best that we simply acknowledge what happened and aim not to repeat it, regardless of our modern political alignments.
Im reading journey to topaz for English class and i read about this and it was so sad... And it was a really good book too, i love reading about History and learning different things.
This is the only country where people ever directed toward me! Never in Asia, Europe, Central America. We Americans are intolerent of those different from ourselves!

Thank you for your truth.
As a Japanese American this made me cry.
I'm tearing how shitty our peoples were treated but again it was wartime.
It was a democratic president that did this by the way

God bless these beautiful souls, to experience something like that and not hold any resentment is remarkable.
