Area 51 Thousand
Japanese In a Camp THE MANZANAR CAMP
The Manzanar camp was a camp in east Los Ange-
les. It was where Japanese people were sent to live,
as orientals were not accepted in the community. If
an east Asian wanted to marry a white, it wouldn't
be accepted. This book has the answers to your
questions. It has some bias due to the fact that the
narrator is Japanese and grew up in this camp. She
considers it harsh.
WHAT DID I KNOW BEFORE YOU
STARTED
I knew that war itself is a terrible thing. They say
that war is fighting terror, but
war is terror. I also knew that
the bomb in Hiroshima ended
World War II. I always
thought that World War II
evolved around what Hitler
was doing and it ended be-
cause of Germany getting at-
tacked.

“Listen to me Woodrow. When a soldier goes in-to war he must go believing he is never coming back. They are prepared for death, and that’s why they succeed.”
I learned a lot of things. For example, I learned
that the Japanese got rights after all. I rarely see
Japanese people in the US so I wouldn't think that
they had rights. I also learned that as much as the
banks didn't want to, they had to give loans to Jap-
anese. The Japanese were cut short of everything
and had no money. These start up loans would
help them get jobs, food, and etc. The Manzanar
camp was destroyed. It broke down and no one
was allowed to live their. It was a hard time for
people with no experience, and people who don't
know English.
WHAT DID I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT DID I LEARN
I wanted to know
many things. Here
they are, How
many people died.
I wondered this
because it seemed
like a conflict like
this would be fatal
to many. I won-
dered, what was the
bomb that the Japanese
used in Pearl Harbor.
How did the U.S go into
Japan to attack many
people without being
seen/heard. How does
Japan reply, how did
they get back on their

WHAT I THINK THE MEANING OF
SUCCESS IS
I think the meaning of success is obvious. It’s about
earning or doing something that gives you pride and
joy. My book thinks success is gaining freedom and
escaping the horrible camp which they lived in. I think
that is correct they achieved something which seemed
impossible, are happy about it, escape a horrible
place. When you succeed at anything your happy. For
example, if I wanted to score a longshot 45 yards out
and score it I’m happy, but some people wouldn't en-
joy that. They might enjoy singing alongside the whole
1D band. So my point is, success is doing what you
love.

HOW I THINK THIS ARTICLE IS PREJUDICE
"[We need] to cite the injustice of innocent young people being targeted by prejudice," said Sakamo-to, 57, a Highland Park registered nurse. "It shows what human nature in any history is capa-ble of doing."
Even without the hindsight of history, Manzanar's top official denounced the government's treatment of the orphans in his final 1946 report on the camp.
"The morning was spent at the Children's Village," Manzanar director Ralph P. Merritt wrote, de-scribing Thanksgiving Day, 1942, "with the 90 or-phans [to date] who had been evacuated from Alaska to San Diego and sent to Manzanar be-cause they might be a threat to national security. What a travesty [of] justice!"
Some former internees say the Army's decision to
detain the children, who were already institution-
alized, underscores the wartime anti-Japanese
hysteria. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in
1941, the Army evacuated about 120,000 residents
of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast in its
zeal to guard against espionage and sabotage.
This is prejudice because these people think Man-
zanar is terrible. There is no official fact that states
that it’s terrible. It actually helped a few people.
For starters, it’s free. Poor people on the street now
have a house and guaranteed food. Middle class
people may not enjoy it but they may have saved
someone's life.
