Description:
This report begins by examining how the relationship between Japanese Americans living on the West Coast in 1942 with other residents led to their being singled out for evacuation and placement in relocation centers after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Chapter one relates the experiences of Japanese Americans as they moved into the relocation centers (May 1942 - January 1943) and their adjustments to living in artificial communities under government control. Chapter 2 covers from February 1943 - November 1943 when relocation center residents were asked to register by filling out a questionnaire that included two loyalty questions and young men were recruited to serve in segregated army units. Chapter 3 describes life and conditions in the relocation centers while Chapter 4 describes the process and confusion of closing the centers. The Epilogue looks at the attitudes and adjustments of the Japanese Americans as they were reintegrated into American communities at the end of the war.
