    This document summarizes the internment of Japanese Americans during World War 2 from 1942 to 1946. Over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, many of whom were American citizens, were forcibly relocated from their homes and detained in internment camps due to fears following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The document describes the assembly centers where families were initially held, then transfer to internment camps like Rohwer, Arkansas. It also mentions a loyalty questionnaire inmates had to answer and the imprisonment of the author's family members. In the end, the war ended and redress was sought, but the document advocates remembering this injustice in the past and fighting for equality in the future.
