When the Japanese Canadians were sent to the internment camps, their property was sold by the government of Canada in order to fund the internment. After the war, most of the Japanese Canadians had nothing to return to in B.C. so they started a new life in other provinces.

However, though they were purebred genetically the younger generations were AMERICANS legally because they were born in the USA. There were third and fourth generations (just babies) in the internment camps. There were Japanese labels for these generations called Issei, Nisei, Sansei and Yonsei. See the related links below.

The theme of "Farewell to Manzanar" is the impact of prejudice, discrimination, and injustice on individuals and families during World War II. The memoir explores themes of resilience, identity, and the search for belonging in the face of adversity.
Elie Wiesel's "Night" is a memoir of his experiences in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust, focusing on the horrors of the genocide. Jeanne Houston's "Farewell to Manzanar," on the other hand, is a memoir about her family's internment in a Japanese-American camp during World War II in the United States, highlighting the impact of racism and discrimination.
