In the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States government authorized the internment of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were American citizens. These innocent people were forced to leave their homes and businesses and were imprisoned in desolate camps scattered across the country.

Eyewitness to Japanese Internment is a powerful and moving account of this dark chapter in American history. Through the eyes of eyewitness, readers will experience the hardships and injustices that these innocent people endured.

The book begins with the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent attack on Pearl Harbor. In the wake of the attack, the government authorized the internment of all Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. This decision was based on the false belief that Japanese Americans were loyal to Japan and posed a security risk to the United States.

The internment camps were hastily constructed and were located in remote areas of the country. The conditions in the camps were deplorable, with inmates living in crowded barracks with little food or medical care. Many of the inmates were also subjected to abuse and humiliation by the camp guards.

Despite the hardships they faced, the Japanese Americans interned in the camps never gave up hope. They formed communities and supported each other, and they fought for their rights. In 1944, the Supreme Court ruled that the internment of Japanese Americans was unconstitutional, and the camps were finally closed.
