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."
