Japanese-American Boy San Francisco 1942
A Japanese-American boy waiting on a San Francisco street to be "evacuated" to a detention camp.

This boy was one of 664 San Francisco residents of Japanese ancestry sent "to be housed in a war relocation authority center for the duration". This was in June of 1942, 7 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

There are many other pictures of Manzanar, a relocation camp, on AncientFaces.

75 years ago today (February 19), President Roosevelt signed an Executive Order that sent 120,000 Japanese-Americans to internment camps. This is one boy, waiting to be sent to Manzanar.

Nope. Supported it because there was such fear (fear leads to horrible actions). I was born a few years later and I never heard of the internments until I was in college. Not a word. Then a met, at my first job, a woman whose family had been relocated. They owned quite a bit of property and lost it all. Other people (mostly, there were some helpful people) took advantage of the situation and bought land and goods off of those who were relocated - very cheaply. It was a sad chapter and did not reflect well on the American people.

All the people you all are talking about, maybe not them per say but! Remember Pearl Harbor!, Also there was a point in history where Germans were being caught here in the United States sneaking around and poisoning water supplies , and private wells! Most of the actions taken at the time your talking about were in times of war, if my history doesn't fail me. Now there is one Nationality you should be standing up for & ready for it!! The American Indian!! Now they were allowed to fight for The United States back then!! Just couldn't be a United States Citizen, go figure!! Until after 1920 or so I believe, And as far as the land those folks lost, I'm not even going to go there, about the Indians Lands, most of us are probably setting on some of it now!! But that's OK????? I'm starting to think if people aren't gripping, complaining, or cutting someone down!! Their just not happy!! I know most folks will give a penny for your thoughts!! But that was my two cents worth!! You got a good deal.😀

When one looks up what's reflected on Americans, as AncientFaces posts, I think you forget December 7, 1941. Again, it took 2 Atom Bombs to convince Japan to give up, then America had to corral the other Japanese up in America to maintain further safety for America. Nothing was more dangerously devastating than the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

While biking in LA years ago, my friend pointed out where Japanese internment camps were. Today, it sounds so horrible. But in 1941, it was a necessity. They didn't know if the Japanese people here were going to help their homeland. It was for our safety. And think about it....it is the way we are feeling about refugees. Who knows who will act against us and be faithful to their homelands. It's always about our safety.

There were many sides to the story of WW2. Many who are viewing this image are too young to even remember a single person who lived through it. I know that my father, my uncles, and my father-in-law saw terrible things and suffered at the hands of the Axis forces. Sadly, millions of people from many different nations were displaced, discomforted and/or disenfranchised. Six million Jews were murdered in Europe, but no Japanese Americans were sent to gas chambers here. Many American soldiers, like the POW in this picture, gave their lives to keep America free. Before we judge too harshly, let us remember Pearl Harbor and the fact that the US was attacked first.

By the way: My father (of German /French/Scottish heritage) fought in the Pacific Campaign (in his teens) in Naval battles in WW2. Two of my aunts, an uncle, and my great-grandmother were living in Pearl Harbor when it was bombed (and watched it). My immediate family lived on the West Coast during the war and my mother remembers the bomb drills/blackouts because of the fear that the Japanese would attack. I understand, through all of their stories, the fear at the time. But I still don't think that fear is a good guide for policy or actions.

AncientFaces, I don't disagree, but this happened more than 70 years ago. It was a different time, communications were not what they are today, and people were frightened out of their wits. It's much easier to identify enemies today, but even with our modern resources, terrorists slipped through our security and created the carnage at the Twin Towers, the Boston Marathon, the Orlando nightclub, and on and on. What precautions would I take to protect my family, especially my innocent little grandchildren, from harm? I cannot say until I'm faced with that choice, but I guarantee I would use self defense if necessary.

Just read what the Japanese did to the Chinese. There was no self defense they were overpowered. The Chinese Children were murdered in front of their parents for sport. A very very common practice to show thier might. The American Government and Military knew about this brutalitity long before Pearl Harbor. They knew what kind of animal advesary they were going to war with hence the interment.READ the history and it may help you understand the WHY.

Facts are why they felt they had to inter the large Japanese population. Many were my friends. They seemed to understand much better that a lot of people today. They murdered one of my uncles and tried to murder a second but he survived. After the first several battlels the Marines took no prisoners just as they had been taught by the japanese.

Was it racism? Consider the events of the time. This was the 40's - a foreign country initiated an unprovoked attack on U.S. soil. People were terrified. Initially the thought was that the Japanese had invaded; troops on the ground in the U.S. Not long after they pummelled our troops in the Philipines. Americans were scared. Military leaders voiced their concerns to FDR. When he issued the order, you note, unlike Trump's ban on Muslims, FDR's exec. order does not identify the japanese specifically.

Why on earth would they do that? Could it be that Japanese American Spies in Hawaii gave the information to Japan on when and where to attack and kill thousands of American Military and civilians at Pearl Harbor while they were in Washington DC negotiating a treaty? Could it be that there were known Japanese spies in California?
What did Japan do to the Americans that were in Japan at the same time? Internment wasn't a death sentence and it also saved their lives from the public.
Dem or Rep, it was the right thing to do at that time. Hindsight is 20/20 and we didn't have instantaneous information gathering like we do today. We couldn't take the chance that they weren't planing to attack the homeland.

Actually, don't just blame FDR. The Supreme Court ruled that the need to protect the US against espionage outweighed the rights of the individual rights, and the right of Americans of Japanese descent...read more on Korematsu v.United States. Hence the Executive Order stood as Constitutional. .

We have so much to be ashamed of that we need to remember when we want to puff ourselves up as superior.

This is not a valid argument. Those interred were citizens. I believe, to this day, not one was found to have been a spy or anything otherwise. In fact, even interred they volunteered to go to war for this country so people like you could later on not utilize critical thinking skills and make inane comments.

Erin. Visit Arlington and tell that to my Grandfather. He died December 07, 1941. My Grandmother is buried with him. Convey your abstract thinking to her as well.🇺🇸

Roland Wayne Broadfoot It was not those who were interred in the camps that did this to your grandfather.

Roland's argument is the same I'm hearing now, but in regards to Muslim refugees. That refusing to allow people into our country, including people who are valid green card holders and have lived here for years, is a slap in the face to families of those killed on 9/11. I call BS on that. Scapegoating innocent people out of fear, particularly fear rooted in racism, is WRONG. We should be better than this.

I am researching Tasker, Jones, Bowen, Rees of Wales; Kroetch, Chartrand of Canada; and Boggs, Ferguson, Smith, of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Also Steeples of Kansas. And on my mother's New England roots - well, too numerous to name since she descends from Mayflower passengers as well as Dutch East India captains who arrived with their families before the Mayflower landed further north than was planned. :)
I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Director). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in Campbell (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our current Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
