pearl harbor
The Japanese planes attacked a US naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. The attack was about two hours long. In only two hours my whole life was changed, I had never been so scared for my life. -
Proclamation No. 2525
Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Presidential Proclamation No. 2525. The proclamation declared “all natives, citizens or subjects of the Empire of Japan” living in the U.S. and not naturalized to be restrained, secured, and removed as an alien. This was dissapointing, I felt as if we were losing all our rights. -
Attprney General
Attorney General freezes travel by all suspected enemy aliens, orders surrender of weapons. He was taking all the weapons from people, so the surroundings of people would be safe. -
Executive Order 9066.
General DeWitt empoweredilitary commander to carry out an evacuation within his command under the terms of the Executive Order 9066. We were walking, walking so far didn't know where we would end up, but i felt safe since all my family was with me. -
Moving
First large contingent of Japanese and Japanese Americans moved from Los Angeles to the Manzanar temporary detention center. Japan had been waging war in Asia since 1937, we were kind of glad to be moving and getting out of here. We were scared of the outcomes to it but we could only hope everything went well -
Registration
Registration (loyalty questionnaire) of all persons over 17 years of age for Army recruitment, segregation and relocation begins at most of the internment camps. They were recruting, my heart was racing I was hoping they wouldn't chose me, this one was one of the most nerve-wrecking day of my life. -
The supreme court
The Supreme Court rules that a curfew may be imposed against one group of Americans citizens based solely on ancestry and that Congress in enacting Public law. Japenese-Americans beleived their loyalty to the U.S was unequestionable, after the supreme court imposed the curfew on us, I was highly dissapointed because us, Japenese, people had trusted them to have hope in us. -
THE DAY
D- day efers to a day of devastation or completion of something long anticipated. Historically, D-Day refers to Tues, June 6, 1944 .By the dawn on on June 6, parachusits were already on the ground. The land invasions began at 6;30 am, so many loved ones were lost within seconds. Nobody knew what to do, we were all so scared and hopeless at this point. -
The WRA
The WRA announced that all internment camps would be closed before the end of 1945 and the entire WRA program would be liquidated on June 30, 1946, When we had heard this news, we were super happy. I didn't know how to act, finally the internment camps were going to be closed down. -
V-J DAY
V-J day was on August 15, 1945. V-J day meant victory over Japan, Japan had surrendered unconditonally to the allies. This was a unique day to see, we would have never thought that Japan would surrender to the allies conditonally, this had lasted for way too long and we were glad it was finally over. -
The WRA Internment
This was the most largest and most controversal of all the camps, It had been designated by George W.Bush. This internment camp had everyone working the hardest we've ever worked, we worked all night and day.
