At the time of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, there were over 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast. The area in which these people were living became a strategic military zone.
Within a few months, because of the urgency of the situation, these people were ordered to evacuate their homes. Two-thirds of them were American Citizens either by birth or by Act of Congress, as in the case of Veterans of World War I.
With incredible speed, the government built ten cities to house from 7,000 to 18,000 people each. These cities were built on waste-lands in isolated places.
This title portrays the living conditions in these Relocation Centers and how those interned were able to accomplish amazing things under adverse conditions.
