Japanese-Americans Relocated To Internment Camp
After the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, the United States military decided to take revenge and began to relocate Japanese-Americans into internment camps in the west coast. These were basically just prisons. One survivor of these camps, Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga said: “The only thing that was in the ‘apartments’ when we got there were army metal beds with the springs on it, and a potbellied stove in the middle of the room. That was the only thing. No chest of drawers, no nothing, no curtains on the windows. It was the barest of the bare.”
