N2  - "When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, suddenly Japanese Americans found themselves suspected of spying for the enemy. Without any just cause, 120,000 people on the West Coast of the United States were rounded up and forced to live in hastily constructed relocation camps. People were given mere weeks to dispose of their beloved pets, businesses, homes, and possessions before being sent to live behind barbed-wire fences under primitive and crowded conditions. Determined to hold on to their dignity--and their love for America--Japanese Americans built a remarkable society in these camps. Martin W. Sandler reveals newly uncovered interviews, photographs, and art created by the internees themselves to tell the story of this terrible injustice that occurred, shamefully, while America was fighting for freedom abroad."--Book jacket
