It all started on December 7, 1941, when Japanese planes bombed U.S. ships at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The U.S.
declared war on Japan. They were forced into relocation centers because Americans were afraid that Japan would
attack again.

An official government notice gave one week to get rid of their belongings before they were taken to relocation centers.

A few cots were the only furnishings that the evacuees had. Over 100,000 Japanese Americans were living in ten relocation centers.

Executive order 9066 was rescinded by President Roosevelt in 1944, and the rest of the camps were closed in March, 1946. In 1988, the government agreed to give $20,000 to all American internees still alive.
