Following the Pearl Harbor attacks, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in 1942. The U.S. government forced approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans—two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens—into isolated, military-style camps.  Families were given just days to pack only what they could carry. Many had to abruptly sell homes, farms, and businesses for a fraction of their value, resulting in financial ruin. The government established 10 permanent “relocation centers” surrounded by barbed wire fences and patrolled by armed guards.  The Japanese American population was concentrated on the West Coast, making them highly visible and easy to identify. German and Italian communities were widespread throughout the United States, making mass relocation of these much larger white ethnic groups virtually impossible. Historians widely agree that anti-Asian prejudice paved the way for their swift removal.  The forced internment is widely viewed by historians and the U.S. government as a severe violation of civil rights. In 1988, the U.S. government passed the Civil Liberties Act, which offered a formal apology and reparations to surviving victims.____________________________________________________________________ In 1980, Congress established the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians to investigate the detention program and the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066. The passage below is an excerpt from this report. Source:  Personal Justice Denied: The Report of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, February 24, 1983.The Commission held 20 days of hearings in cities across the country, particularly on the West Coast, hearing testimony from more than 750 witnesses: evacuees, former government officials, public figures, interested citizens, and historians and other professionals who have studied the subjects of Commission inquiry. An extensive effort was made to locate and to review the records of government action and to analyze other sources of information including contemporary writings, personal accounts and historical analyses. . . . Executive Order 9066 was not justified by military necessity, and the decisions which followed from it—detention, ending detention and ending exclusion—were not driven by analysis of military conditions. The broad historical causes which shaped these decisions were race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership. Widespread ignorance of Japanese Americans contributed to a policy conceived in haste and executed in an atmosphere of fear and anger at Japan. A grave injustice was done to American citizens and resident aliens of Japanese ancestry who, without individual review or any . . . evidence against them, were excluded, removed and detained by the United States during World War II.QUESTIONS: 1. According to the reading, why were Japanese Americans targeted for internment and not German and Italian Americans?   2. What are the main points of the “Personal Justice Denied” report? 3. Do you think the government has a responsibility to prevent this from ever happening again in this country?  What actions would prevent it? Your answer must be in your own words and must be supported by specific information from the reading.  Your answer must be a minimum of 75 words.
