I'm interested in speaking with an internee of Japanese descent who was at the Crystal City Internment Camp. One of the internees posted an actual DOJ video about this camp made DURING the internment
Internees of non US citizenship was legal...interning US citizens is not. However, I still haven't seen 1 nickle from Japan in repayment to all non military internees from the hell hole camps in Asia...or a friggin apology.
A Japanese American man says, "had other Americans had courage to speak out.."(against human injustice),he says Rememberance Day and this Dialogue about violations of human rights would be unnecessary today.I agree about apologizing, but also question how many of the Japanese Americans kept quiet about or justified Japanese invasions,colonialism,and slavery in rest of Asia for half a century before WWII? Are they doing enough today about Japanese Government's Whitewashing of History?
My mother lost her mother and was alone with her grandmother who was very old. So my mother was mostly alone and the people who came out of the camps, worked with her in the orchards. They let her into their homes and took a watch on her. She made good friends with them, more like family than friends. She is in her 70's now and they still remember her! She really love these people.
This is true. My family lived and worked in the fruit orchards of Placer County with the people who came out of the camps. My mother worked along side of them when she was just a child. They build their homes on my g-g-grandfather's ranch (Sweden)and they kept their doors open to my mother. It was sad.
According to the official record, the population fluctuated during the war
