| | | | | At the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, about 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry lived on the US mainland, mostly along the Pacific Coast. About two thirds were full citizens, born and raised in the United States. Following the Pearl Harbor attack, however, a wave of antiJapanese suspicion and fear led the Roosevelt administration to adopt a drastic policy toward these residents, alien and citizen alike. | |

| | | | | By the fall of 1942, most people of Japanese ancestry had been transferred to one of 10 incarceration camps run by the War Relocation Authority. It was a time to persevere in the face of the unendurable, and to do so with dignity. The Japanese term for that is Gaman. | |
