This is a U.S. government-produced video of how the U.S. tries to defend the World War II internment of Japanese American citizens. Japanese-American internment was the relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of about 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called “War Relocation Camps,” in the wake of Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. After the war many Japanese went back to their hometowns and to the reality that Americans had taken their land and they could not do anything about it. They had to start over.
