Document 4Source: Jeanne Wakatsuki, description of the camp for Japanese-American internees at Manzanar, California, 1942At the time, it was pure chaos. . . . The evacuation had been so hurriedly planned, the camps so hastily thrown together, nothing was completed when we got there, and almost nothing worked.I was sick continually, with stomach cramps and diarrhea. At first it was from the shots they gave us for typhoid. . . . Later it was the food that made us sick, young and old alike. The kitchens were too small and badly ventilated. . . .“The Manzanar runs” became a condition of life, and you only hoped that when you rushed to the latrine, one would be in working order. . . .Before Manzanar, mealtime had always been the center of our family scene. . . . Dinners were always noisy, and they were always abundant, with great pots of boiled rice, platters of home-grown vegetables, fish Papa caught.He would sit at the head of this table, with Mama next to him serving and the rest of us arranged around the edges according to age . . .Now, in the mess halls, after a few weeks had passed, we stopped eating as a family. Mama tried to hold us together for a while, but it was hopeless. . . . My older brothers and sisters . . . began eating with their friends, or eating somewhere blocks away, in the hope of finding better food. . . .I . . . would eat in gangs with other kids, while the grownups sat at another table.

D. Japanese AmericansAfter the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, fear and racism created a suspicion of Japanese-Americans and Japanese immigrants, particularly those living on the West Coast. Unsupported by evidence or fact, many Americans feared that Japanese-Americans would declare their loyalty to Japan, and aid America’s enemy in a secret West Coast attack. In February 1942, FDR issued Executive Order 9066, which forcibly removed 112,000 Japanese Americans—79,000 of whom were American citizens—from their homes on the West Coast and placed them into ten internment camps located in remote areas. The president’s order came less than three months after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, amid concerns that Japanese American citizens might pose a threat to national security. Under the Executive Order, Japanese Americans were given only a few days' notice to report for internment, and many had to sell their homes and businesses for much less than they were worth. In so doing, they lost much of what they had accrued (gained) in the course of their lives. The camps were surrounded by barbed wire, guard towers, searchlights and machine guns.In 1944, Fred Korematsu, a Japanese-American US citizen, sued the US government, claiming internment was unconstitutional and his rights as a citizen were being denied. In the case Korematsu v. United States (1944), the Supreme Court disagreed with Korematsu, ruling that interning Japanese Americans during the war for purposes of "military necessity" was constitutional, and that sometimes, individual rights must be limited for public safety. Decades later, the US government apologized, and Congress passed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which provided financial compensation of $20,000 for each surviving detainee from the camps.QUESTION 510 pointsWhat were Japanese Internment camps and why were they created?
