Description

Nisei watched their fathers and uncles being arrested, their parents’ property being taken by the FBI, and their own movements restricted by curfew laws. As they observed these events taking place, they felt their worlds changing. Continuing their everyday activities was difficult. Even going to school was tense and uncomfortable.

One of the most striking responses to the Pearl Harbor bombing was the reaction of the Chinese community. Fearing that they would be grouped with the Japanese because of their looks, Chinese people set about distinguishing themselves from the Japanese.
