What do you think about encampment of japanese in world war II?
There was a strong belief that Japanese-Americans that lived on the Californian coast would collude with the Japanese Navy, as the majority were fishermen, and had access to boats. There were also a lot of Japanese-Americans that went back to Japan for their education and joined the Imperial Army. It wasn’t just the Americans, the Canadian Government was just as bad, if not worse, forcing many to move in-land or face repatriation after the war. They split families whereas the Americans tried to keep families together. In Britain people of German descent were held on the Isle of Mann, and sometimes transported to Australia. Watch ‘Come See the Paradise’ which deals with the way the Japanese Americans were treated, and the ‘The Dunera Boys’ for how the British treated those of German descent.
