Offered in 0 more formatsUses firsthand accounts, oral histories, and essays from school newspapers and yearbooks to tell the story of the Japanese Americans who were sent to live in government-run internments camps during World War II. Based on firsthand accounts, oral histories, and essays from school newspapers and yearbooks, this is the story of the Japanese American children who were evacuated with their families to live in government-run internment camps during World War II. These young people tried to live normal lives, played baseball and football, collected scrap metal for the war effort, went to Saturday night dances, and registered with Selective Service. They were often torn between loyalty to their parents, many of whom sympathized with Japan, and their own identity as Americans. They were also angry that they were being treated as potential traitors and disloyal citizens. The book will be illustrated by archival photographs taken by such outstanding photographers as Dorothea Lange, who was among the people assigned by the Farm Security Administration to document life in the camps, and Ansel Adams.
