UNIVERSITY OF OREGON WWiMWWKWKfSWHWHKi WWMMBiMimQ»m«MWWWWWWWWW8^^ CAMP continued from page 9 prejudices that existed in America at the time, heightening antagonism to ward Japanese immigrants and their children, who were citizens if bom in the United States. Two months later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, authorizing the relocation and internment of people of Japanese an cestry who lived in areas considered sensitive to the war effort, including the West Coast. Officials set up 10 relocation centers in remote deserts, plains and swamps in several states. The goal: Get people as far away as possible from areas where they could do some damage. People of Japanese ancestry who lived in restricted areas had only a few days to gather up their possessions. Many lost farms, businesses and homes. "We didn't know where we were go ing, and we didn't know how long we were going to be gone," said Ohtaki, who arrived at Manzanar with two suit cases. "We thought we were just going to be gone a couple (of) weeks." While at Manzanar, Ohtaki served as a correspondent for his hometown pa per in Bainbridge Island, Wash., pro viding glimpses of camp life Nearly two-thirds of Manzanar in ternees were American citizens by birth. The camp lies 225 miles north of Los Angeles along rural U.S. 395 in the Owens Valley. The high-desert region has stark beauty, with snow-capped mountains to the west. But it also is a land of stark condi tions, with withering summers, cold winters and winds that whip up to 80 mph. "We used to have some real severe dust storms that got inside the homes," said Danville, Calif., resident Yoshimi Ikeda, who came to Manzanar at age 8. "It just seemed like a dismal area." Internees lived in brown wood and tar-paper barracks with holes in the floorboards that enabled the wind to push dust inside Enterprising families used tin can lids to cover the holes be fore some installed linoleum. Families of up to eight people crowded into a single 20-by-25-foot living unit, hanging blankets or any thing else they could find to provide some degree of privacy. Privacy was nonexistent in the shared toilet and shower areas, which had no partitions in the early days of the camp. The 200 Caucasians who worked at Manzanar had much better living con ditions. They resided in painted bunga lows with kitchens, indoor plumbing and air conditioning. Some internees sarcastically referred to this section as "Beverly Hills." Alameda, Calif., resident Bob Ya mashita was one of 101 young people living in the Manzanar orphanage, known as Children's Village. Authorities transferred Yamashita and other children from several or phanages, including the Salvation Army Japanese Children's Home in San Francisco, even though it may be hard now to comprehend how someone like Yamashita could pose a national secu rity threat at age 12. Several Japanese-American children were taken out of foster homes and adoptive families and shipped to the Manzanar orphanage. Like many of the Manzanar children, Yamashita is in his 70s today. Each year, the number of living internees dwin dles. That adds urgency to efforts to pre serve Manzanar's history. Park service officials extensively inter viewed internees as they designed the center. It includes a small theater where visitors can watch a 20-minute video of internees discussing their experiences. At the center of the exhibit stands a stunning, 16-foot-tall wall with the names of all 11,070 Manzanar internees superimposed over a Dorothea Lange photo of the camp. Famed photographer Ansel Adams and Toyo Miyatake, an internee who smuggled a camera into camp, also took spectacular photographs docu menting life at Manzanar. "I’m sure people understood this was a part of history that would need to be remembered," Hays said. The harsh living conditions form only one part of the Manzanar story. It also is a story of resiliency and grit of enterprising people who relied on a spirit of "Shikata ga nai" _ or "it cannot be helped" _ to get through a trying period. By the time Manzanar closed 3 1/2 years after it opened, internees were growing 32 kinds of vegetables and fruits, as well as raising chickens, hogs and cattle Nearly 150 people died at Manzanar. Several others, including Hercules, Calif., City Manager Michael Sakamo to, were bom there Many struggled to piece their lives back together after leaving the camp, trying to restart businesses, find places to live and cope with racism. On Aug. 10, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill making each living internee eligible for a letter of apology and a $20,000 payment from the U.S. government. For many internees, this was a bitter sweet moment. "It was long overdue," Ikeda said. "My folks had both passed away by the time this came through. I'm just sorry it didn't come in time for them. (The internment) took three years out of their life." (c) 2004, Contra Costa limes (Walnut Creek, Calif.). Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Services.
