My grandpa was interned when he was 9. His family did not wish to go back to California due to the racism and they had lost their home when they were forced to evacuate. Instead, they went to New Jersey because they were offered low paying jobs in factories. Many companies took advantage of the thousand of internees and their situations. Because the internees were forced to sell everything when they evacuated many had to start over completely and they did not wish to start over in the place that they had been kicked out of.

What were the impacts of World War 2 on Japanese Canadians?
The sad experience of many Japanese Canadians was to be transported to internment camps. This was done because many in the government, as well as a fair portion of the Canadian population, felt that the Japanese Canadians posed a threat to national secerity (ie: spies, etc). Approx. 25,000 Japanese were believed to have been moved to camps located in British Columbia. Men were generally sent to work on farms or on road work while women and children were kept together. Japanese-Americans faced a similar situation, though it is interesting to note that German and Italian-Canadians (and German and Italian Americans) did not face similar treatment. Though the camps were closed at the end of the war, it was not until 1988 that the Canadian government officially appologized. I think there are several good films by both Canadian and American film companies about this topic. They are worth looking up.
