Word #2 From The Website Author —
After reading articles, by the scads, posted in the Free Press I have come to the conclusion that life in Manzanar, although not like that from whence the internees came, was not a concentration camp. U.S. WRA relocation centers were light years different from either German or Japanese concentration camps. Life might have been difficult but apparently movement in and out and among the centers was easy. Job offers from outside of the centers were apparently bountiful and always being offered to internees. The centers certainly were not heaven-on-earth . . . but they were not the death camps you would find in either Germany or the occupied territories of Japan during WWII.
