by Shane R.When I went on the school field trip yesterday, I realized how unjust the relocation of Japanese during WWII was. The complete misery of having to leave your home, with only having a few days notice, taking only what you could carry and having your past life be destroyed when you get out would destroy anybody but some how they recovered.
As we went to the cafeteria, they had recreated, I realized how hard it was for the Japanese. They had no refrigeration for the first few years and there were knot holes in their barracks and cafeterias. Under all those unbearable conditions some how Japanese made it a livable by building thing for them relaxation such as a golf course and after we went to the cafeteria.
I am grateful that none of my ancestry could be traced back to the relocation camps. Also I’m glad that the Japanese have recovered. I believe that we should learn form are mistakes.
Well I ahd family at some of the concentration camps

ReplyDeleteShane, you need to know more about your family's own history, at Manzanar. The encampment was a sad time, yes. Although, I do not believe you can judge by todays standards, what was a very scary, unstable time for America. The past is an amazing gift for each of us. Now it is time for you to discover it.
