Description: Discusses personnel's situation as a state of limbo with the incarceration camp's future closure. Describes a desire to take a positive and constructive stance on resettlement activities and dismisses any "hard-boiled attitude" by the camp personnel, which he senses will result in negative consequences on the ability for incarcerees to establish a sound plan for resettlement or to return home.
This collection contains materials generated by J. Ralph McFarling, a Community Analyst for the War Relocation Authority, documenting the Amache Concentration Camp in Granada, Colorado where Japanese-Americans were incarcerated during World War II.
