Desolate, hot all day, and extremely cold all night.
I think you're referencing the memoir Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston...about the shameful way the US gov't rounded up peaceful, law-abiding Japanese American citizens and placed them in camps. Manzanar was one of these camps, located in Northern California.
The living accommodations in Manzanar were no bueno.
Manzanar was the most widely known camp............................ there were 10 camps total: AMACHE, GILA RIVER, HEART MOUNTAIN, JEROME, MANZANAR, MINIDOKA, POSTON, ROHWER, TOPAZ, TULE LAKE
Manzanar, one of the ten internment camps established for Japanese Americans during World War II, closed in November 1945. After the war, the camp was vacant, and the land eventually returned to its original owners, with the camp's buildings being dismantled or moved elsewhere.
manzanar opened in 1942
Manzanar was created in 1942.
The relationship that the author has with Manzanar can be described as sour.
Manzanar is that spanish word for Apple Orchard Manzanar is that spanish word for manzana.
The area of Manzanar is 3,294,141.1278336 square meters.
Farewell to Manzanar was created in 1973.
Some Japanese Americans died in the camps due to inadequate medical care and the emotional stresses they encountered. Several were killed by military guards posted for allegedly resisting orders.
Manzanar is a former internment camp in California, USA where during World War II, over 110,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and detained by the U.S government. The camp was one of ten such camps where Japanese Americans were held throughout the western United States. The conditions in the camps were often harsh and the internees were subject to discrimination, harassment, and loss of property. The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is widely considered to be a violation of civil rights and a dark chapter in American history. The Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of the camps that was in operation from 1942 to 1945. Today, the site is a National Historic Site, which serves as a reminder of the injustice that was committed against Japanese Americans during World War II.
