Japanese-American Internment in World War II

Compare depictions of the Japanese-American Internment in World War II: The 1942 United News newsreel and the 1943 War Relocation Authority's Challenge to Democracy are contemporaneous views from the US government's perspective. The 2003 "After Silence" presents a modern-day, longer term perspective, including a lengthy interview with Dr. Frank Kitamoto, who was 2 years old when his family was interned. Additional web resources include documents and images from the JARDA site, and personal letters written from the camps to a children's librarian, all of which provide perspectives through other primary sources.
