    The camp is so large, the photographer can't get it all into the frame.

    Wow it is huge. It looks like it could contain tens of thousands of people that happened to be the wrong race at the wrong time. What a shame.
  • Carolyn B said:
    Visited the site in 2007. I think this photo must have been taken from up on Castle Rock.
  • Zealous Control said:
    The invasion of the Western US was a very real threat at the time.. had we not relocated them and had the Japanese been able to land large numbers of sabotuer teams on the West coast the damage could have been immense.

    I had no clue the internment camps were this massive, crazy shit

Japanese-American camp, war emergency evacuation, [Tule Lake Relocation Center, Newell, Calif.] (LOC)

    Thanks so much for sharing this photo. Our treatment of Japanese-Americans at this point in time was shameful. Those who don't remember history are condemned to repeat it.
  • ET calls home said:
    I am really bothered by the the heading, "war emergency evacuation," as if Japanese Americans were rounded up and shipped off to the camps for their "own good." It shows that the U.S. government can say or do anything and justify it as a "war emergency."
  • Barbara said:
    They're preserving the titles of the photos as they were titled when they were taken. It's the Library of Congress historically documenting (and sharing with us) pieces of history. While that time period, and the subject matter is certainly sad and distasteful, I think it would be terrible if the LOC cleaned up the titles and other information to appeal to our modern sensibilities. It's much more important to get an accurate representation of history, imho. But I certainly understand where you're coming from- it was a terrible situation for the government to even conceive of internment camps, let alone put them into practice.

    I agree with Jade. I appreciate the photo more because it has the original caption.
  • Nondescript Apparel said:
    I agree with JadeEJF too. Doesn't change the fact that this is a shameful event in our history. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)
