City - Manzanar State - CALIFORNIA Country - United States
About
one of the most shameful acts committed by the United States government this century can be found between the towns of Lone Pine and Independence in California?s Owens Valley at a place called Manzanar. Here and at nine other locations in the U.S., thousands of individuals, nearly two thirds American citizens, were rounded up and held in concentration camps during World War II.
It was reverse treason. The red white and blue dolls, as innocent as they look, provide stinging commentary in many ways. I'm not exactly correct on this, but one incarcerated person was asked who he was allied with; the U.S. or Japan. And he answered by saying: "what if your mom & dad were fighting, would you want your mom to kill your dad, or your dad to kill your mom? Or would you rather they just stop fighting and make up?"
