Hey everyone, let's talk about something from history – Japanese internment during World War II.

So,
when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, life got really hard for Japanese Americans. They had to leave their
homes, lost their stuff, and got moved to what they called "relocation centers," but they were more like
jails .The mazaner camp California relocation center September 1942, more than 10,000 Japanese
Americans were living there.Imagine living like that. Years later, people like Yuri Kochiyama fought for
apologies and money, which they got from the government. Do you think getting an apology and some
money makes up for what they went through As an apology, President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil
Liberties Act of 1988, which said that the U.S. government would give $20,0000 in reparations to each
person detained during World War II.

It was located in the WEST of rockies.

Life were suddenly changed for many of the 120,000 people of Japanese descent in the United States.
Life in internment camps, as described in the reading, was really tough. People had to live in small,
crowded spaces without much privacy, making their daily lives difficult. Additionally, they lost their
homes and businesses, which caused long-term financial struggles. The reading also showed how this
experience had lasting effects on the people who went through it. They faced emotional hardships due
to the forced move and felt a sense of betrayal. The suppression of their language and traditions also
affected their cultural identity. Overall, the internment experience had a deep and lasting impact on the
individuals involved, affecting both their daily lives and their long-term well-being
