Content: The government and populace were convinced that they all still held some latent loyalty to the Emperor, so each and every person of Japanese descent, even if they were only part-Japanese, was assumed to be a threat to national security. This paranoia culminated after Pearl Harbor, when basically the entire Japanese-American population of the western US was relocated to “internment camps”. They had to leave behind their homes, their jobs, most of their belongings, and their friends. The conditions in these camps varied depending on which government entity was in charge of them, but generally sucked. The buildings were hastily thrown together, and didn’t provide nearly enough space for families. They were located in deserts and other hot, barren places, in a time before air conditioning. Disease was a serious concern due to overcrowding. A token effort was made to provide educational facilities for the children, and there were activities like sports and gardening for the adults, but life in the camps was extremely tedious. There were only two ways out. If you were a college student, you could transfer to a school in the eastern part of the country, away from the “exclusion zones”.
