California Reads: Life in the Camps
Have you ever been to the wonderful Japanese American Museum of San Jose in San Jose? My friends and I went a few months ago. On a late Sunday afternoon the museum wasn't crowded, and we had an informed and passionate guide. A major permanent exhibit at JAMSJ captures the mass removal and incarceration of some 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were citizens of the United States. They were forcibly removed in 1942 and moved to 10 desolate permanent camps until 1945. The exhibit features an extensive collection of photographs, artwork, handicraft, and other artifacts from the camps, such as an actual wash basin, window, door and barbed wire from Tule Lake Segregation Center. I found the replica of some living quarters quite interesting.
Read "Farewell to Manzanar" by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston for a first hand account of one young Japanese American girl's experience in the camps. Make plans to attend a discussion by the author or, check out some of the various special library events celebrating California Reads.
