“We were put on a train, three of us and many trains of others. It was crowded. The shades were drawn. During the ride we were wondering, what are they going to do to us?...We arrived in Amache, Colorado. That was an experience in itself. We were right near the Kansas border. It’s a desolate, flat, barren area. The barracks was all there was. There were no trees, no kind of landscaping. It was like a prison camp. Coming from our environment, it was just devastating.” –Peter Ota, age 15 in 1942

Peter Ota, quoted by Studs Turkel in “The Good War”: An Oral History of World War Two (1984), pp 29-30.

Activity: Loyalty Oath

Question #27 asked:Are you willing to serve in the armed forces of the United States on combat duty, wherever ordered?

Question #28 asked:Will you swear unqualified allegiance to the United States of America and faithfully defend the United States from any and all attack by foreign or domestic forces, and forswear any form of allegiance to the Japanese Emperor or any other foreign government, power, or organization?

In your notebook: 1. How would you respond to these two questions? Explain your answers 2. Are there any reasons a person might answer “no” other than disloyalty? 3. First generation Japanese Americans could not be U.S. citizens. Would this

complicate their answer? How? 4. How might women and the elderly have felt in responding? 5. How can you prove loyalty? Could something like internment happen again?

(e.g. what happened after 9/11?)

Fred Korematsu vs United States of America Background info- *do not write down Born 1919 in Oakland, CA. After Exec Order 9066, Korematsu refused to report to a

relocation camp and went into hiding. Captured May 30, 1942. Tried and convicted, then appealed to

the Supreme Court. On December 18, 1944, the Court held that compulsory exclusion,

though constitutionally suspect, is justified during circumstances of "emergency and peril".

In 1988, law signed by President Reagan gave $20,000 and an apology to all surviving people who were interned.

In 1998, President Clinton awarded Fred Korematsu with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
