Description
The fears expressed earlier by the California Joint Immigration Committee regarding the concerns of dual Japanese-American citizens were criticized by the Japanese American News. The Executive Secretary sent a letter to the Japanese American News in order to set the record straight about what was meant by the California Joint Immigration Committee. The War Relocation Authority (WRA), together with the Wartime Civil Control Administration (WCCA), the Civil Affairs Division (CAD) and the Office of the Commanding General (OFG) of the Western Defense Command (WDC) operated together to segregate and house some 110,000 men women and children from 1942 to 1945. The collection contains documents and photographs relating to the establishment and administrative workings of the (WDC), the (WRA) and the (WCCA) for the year 1942.
