Area 51 Thousand

Japanese In a Camp THE MANZANAR CAMP

The Manzanar camp was a camp in east Los Ange-

les. It was where Japanese people were sent to live,

as orientals were not accepted in the community. If

an east Asian wanted to marry a white, it wouldn't

be accepted. This book has the answers to your

questions. It has some bias due to the fact that the

narrator is Japanese and grew up in this camp. She

considers it harsh.

WHAT DID I KNOW BEFORE YOU

STARTED

I knew that war itself is a terrible thing. They say

that war is fighting terror, but

war is terror. I also knew that

the bomb in Hiroshima ended

World War II. I always

thought that World War II

evolved around what Hitler

was doing and it ended be-

cause of Germany getting at-

tacked.

“Listen to me Woodrow. When a soldier goes in-to war he must go believing he is never coming back. They are prepared for death, and that’s why they succeed.”

I learned a lot of things. For example, I learned

that the Japanese got rights after all. I rarely see

Japanese people in the US so I wouldn't think that

they had rights. I also learned that as much as the

banks didn't want to, they had to give loans to Jap-

anese. The Japanese were cut short of everything

and had no money. These start up loans would

help them get jobs, food, and etc. The Manzanar

camp was destroyed. It broke down and no one

was allowed to live their. It was a hard time for

people with no experience, and people who don't

know English.

WHAT DID I WANT TO KNOW

WHAT DID I LEARN

I wanted to know

many things. Here

they are, How

many people died.

I wondered this

because it seemed

like a conflict like

this would be fatal

to many. I won-

dered, what was the

bomb that the Japanese

used in Pearl Harbor.

How did the U.S go into

Japan to attack many

people without being

seen/heard. How does

Japan reply, how did

they get back on their

WHAT I THINK THE MEANING OF

SUCCESS IS

I think the meaning of success is obvious. It’s about

earning or doing something that gives you pride and

joy. My book thinks success is gaining freedom and

escaping the horrible camp which they lived in. I think

that is correct they achieved something which seemed

impossible, are happy about it, escape a horrible

place. When you succeed at anything your happy. For

example, if I wanted to score a longshot 45 yards out

and score it I’m happy, but some people wouldn't en-

joy that. They might enjoy singing alongside the whole

1D band. So my point is, success is doing what you

love.

HOW I THINK THIS ARTICLE IS PREJUDICE

"[We need] to cite the injustice of innocent young people being targeted by prejudice," said Sakamo-to, 57, a Highland Park registered nurse. "It shows what human nature in any history is capa-ble of doing."

Even without the hindsight of history, Manzanar's top official denounced the government's treatment of the orphans in his final 1946 report on the camp.

"The morning was spent at the Children's Village," Manzanar director Ralph P. Merritt wrote, de-scribing Thanksgiving Day, 1942, "with the 90 or-phans [to date] who had been evacuated from Alaska to San Diego and sent to Manzanar be-cause they might be a threat to national security. What a travesty [of] justice!"

Some former internees say the Army's decision to

detain the children, who were already institution-

alized, underscores the wartime anti-Japanese

hysteria. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in

1941, the Army evacuated about 120,000 residents

of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast in its

zeal to guard against espionage and sabotage.

This is prejudice because these people think Man-

zanar is terrible. There is no official fact that states

that it’s terrible. It actually helped a few people.

For starters, it’s free. Poor people on the street now

have a house and guaranteed food. Middle class

people may not enjoy it but they may have saved

someone's life.
