A tragic episode in American history. Entire families rounded up and sent to prison camps! If you are near either of these two sites, take the time to go and visit.
I took my family up there about 2 years ago. Hubby had no idea this crap happened in our own backyard. Hit way to close to home for him. My kids didn't realize how awful this stuff was until they saw it their own eyes. Entire lives upended and destroyed.... normal every day people who just wanted to be left alone to live their lives- no different than you and I-all because we let fear take over.
Yes, a very tragic history. I think a lot of people are unaware. While I knew about this history, I was unaware of how large the number of people imprisoned was. Thanks for watching!
@@searchingforhistory en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Canadians I know it is a Wikipedia source but it should be fairly accurate. The island Tofino is where most of the Japanese settled and where their fishing 🎣 boats got confiscated and also their land. This intern turned into the resort area that now resides there.
