I was born there! I've been learning as much as I can about the camp, and finding out more about my parents and their families! I still don't know anything more than my parents names, and my mother's parents. That's about all I really know!
I can only imagine the fear, pain and hopelessness these people faced all because of their racial and ethnic identity. The wickedness of this country is so far reaching, both in depth and width.
my grandparents had Japanese neighbors in the early 40's. when they were sent away for safekeeping they asked my grandparents to watch their house and possessions. after a couple of weeks they didn't come back so grandpa claimed their property. we still have many things that proudly we still have. there is a chest with cutlery and dishes and many tapestries and pearl inlaid mirror with comb and makeup kit among other things. my brother and I recently threw away the photo albums and other insignificant things but a lot of it is in good condition still. I was wondering how much it may be worth, may be more because of its historical value
The Japanese Americans took an economical beating, but never mind, the US Government reimbursed them by given each $20,000 years later. You don't see any Japanese on welfare, do you? We can do the same to the Blacks.
We were at War and given the time and circumstance we had to protect our country. We didn't know what the Japanese Americans were thinking so the government took what they thought were the appropriate steps. I do feel bad for their loss. This is how we learn, from the past.
Whtie farmers were more than jealous of the Japanese. The war was the perfect method to get their land. They never got their land back or paid any kind of reparations. My ex wife is half Japanese and a family member was interned. A very, very dark day for the US.
You sound so un-empathic. Our government and it’s people have done some atrocious things to people of different races and cultures. The attempted genocide of the Native American’s, Slavery and how the government traded votes for the government to turn their backs on the black population in the South during the reConstruction years after the Civil War. We are learning more and more truths. I do not believe most of the American population, especially from the baby boomer and previous generations, know about this part in our governments history. Asians were placed in the worse circumstances and treated so badly. Very sad.

It's pretty annoying that there aren't any subtitles because it's really quiet even at max volume.
if you use headphones it sounds much better

Your apology sounds also like justification. There is no justifiable reason to oppress any people group. Period.
