Description
Document answering common misconceptions about Americans of Japanese ancestry. Report consists of 21 "myths" and corresponding "facts," including citations, to dispel the listed myths about Japanese Americans distributed for use by staff of the War Relocation Authority (WRA) in 1945. Myths include issues of dual citizenship, religion, schools, allegiances, intelligence matters, collusion with Japan, race and ancestry, work ethic, farmers, military service, property, and war-time treatment in camps. 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.
