There were about 90,000 of german/italian heritage interned, vs. 110,000 of Japanese decent.

The 'relocation' affected many more, and according to what I read was a 'voluntary' policy, meaning anyone who had a place to go anywhere east of the Rockies was free to relocate there, while those who didn't had to go to one of the camps. Of course, most had no where else to go.

Not justifying what happened, but the situation was a little more complicated than most today realize.

90,000 Italians and Germans behind barbed wire compound with round the clock armed guards. Honestly, I've never heard of it. Can you send me information about it?

Thanks.
