Guide

This story is written by the daughter of a family that experienced the Evacuation.  She did not experience the Evacuation but wrote from what she could learn from her family and information from others who did.

This is in my opinion a sad part of American history.  Again we were learning what our constitution meant.  The Japanese community are a part of our western states history.  They too are Americans.
