Japanese WWII relocation and internment camps
Japanese internment camps 1942
Description: 1942 movie justifying and explaining Japanese American internment on the West Coast during World War II. Narrated by Milton Eisenhower.
Forced relocation and internment of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II, ordered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt through Executive Order 9066 in 1942. The internment was based on the belief that Japanese Americans were a threat to national security, despite the fact that the vast majority of them were American citizens. Many Japanese Americans lost their homes, businesses, and possessions as a result of the internment, and they faced harsh living conditions in the internment camps. The internment of Japanese Americans is now widely considered to have been a violation of civil rights and a tragic episode in American history.
