The document discusses the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the U.S. government grew paranoid and evacuated over 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast, imprisoning them in internment camps. They were forced to abandon their homes and businesses and relocate to camps, where they remained for the duration of the war. While the camps closed by 1945, the government later acknowledged this was a regretful period in history that many Japanese Americans would never forget.
