Description
Declassified letter addressing concerns of disloyalty from Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans including photographs documenting subversive and disloyal activity in camps at Tule Lake. Additional commentary added on margin of page 1, at bottom of page 4, and beneath photocopies from National Archives presumably added by Americans for Historical Accuracy. The Japanese American Relocation Collection is composed of ephemera related to the relocation program during World War II. Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II.
