was told not to go close to the
fence or I could run the risk of be
ing shot.”
Both Kobayashi and Kono said
they were moved around from
camp to camp between 1942 and
1946. Some places were better
than others, but the tension in
each was acutely felt.
“Families were split up be
cause of their loyalties,” Kono
said. “The older generation sup
ported Japan while the younger
generation supported America.”
Fighting and riots were not un
common in the camps. Kobayashi
said he remembers a time when a
Japanese man had been needless
ly shot and had not been given
medical attention. Kobayashi and
others decided to rebel.
“I was 15 at the time and I was
very angry,” Kobayashi said. “I
jumped on top of cars, smashed
glass and invaded a food storage
shed. Because of what I stole, the
people on my block had enough
meat fora week.”
In 1946, after the camps were
disbanded, prejudice against
Japanese-Americans still existed.
Kono and his family moved back
to Japan, and Kobayashi re
mained in the United States with
his relatives.
Looking back at his childhood
in the camp, Kono said he will
never forget the feelings of resent
ment and hopelessness he felt.
“No kid should have to experi
ence the uncertainty, the anger of
being incarcerated for no reason
at all,” Kono said.
Being in the internment camps
for four years changed Kobayashi
and Kono. They now say they are
more watchful of the government *
and are more appreciative of free
dom.
“In spite of the power of the
Constitution, we were put in con
centration camps,” Kono said.
“We felt betrayed and hurt, but in
spite of this we’ve managed to
work through our feelings to be
come law-abiding citizens.”
