Imagine one day waking up and doing your everyday routine when suddenly everything is turned upside down and you're forced out of your home and everything familiar to you, only to be imprisoned behind wired fences in the middle of nowhere with little to no resources in an internment camp, this  is what many Japanese-Americans had to face during World War ll. The autobiography “Farewell to Manzanar '' shows the heartfelt effects, and emotional well-being of the Japanese internment camps calling attention to the impacts of the dark time period in American history.

In the memoir “Farewell to Manzanar” by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston the internment camps play an important role in the progression of the story; these camps were founded from a distrust of the Japanese, a misuse of the government systems, and hypocrisy on the part of the President.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor created a deep distrust of the American Japanese, which led directly to the creation of Internment Camps. This quote from Britannica supports this, “U.S. military casualties totaled more than 3,400…The Japanese lost fewer than 100 men.” The Japanese dealt a devastating blow to America when they bombed Pearl Harbor, trying to deal a decisive enough blow to take out the US before they had the chance to deploy an troops for retaliation, which was a tentative plan at best. This caused Americans to think all Japanese people, including Japanese Americans, were responsible. This distrust would cause people to make gibes and insult the Japanese about their guise or looks, this later progressed more to a general distain for the Japanese. This later progressed even further to the internment camps creation, starting down the path of imprisonment for the Japanese Americans.

The American Government deeply misused government services in order to collect the Japanese Americans. Proof of this is in this quote from Berkeley library, “The Census Bureau provided statistical information to the army to assist in the interment of 110,000 men, women, and children.” The government used a service meant to help communities by improving other services, to destroy an already bereft community, grieving from the blow Pearl Harbor. Another reason this is such a horrible misuse is the fact only law abiding American citizens would be affected by this use of the census data.

The current President of America signed an order that shows how even the most influential people can be hypocritical. A quote from Farewell to Manzanar says, “Executive order 9066 signed by President Roosevelt.” This order was the final step in the dehumanization and disrespect the Japanese Americans were put through; This gave the military the power to imprison them in the unkempt internment camps. This is deeply ironic since the US was fighting Germany which had similar camps. The insidious idea of imprisoning your own citizens had spread to America, showing how hypocritical the most important man in the country can be.

This mistrust founded out of Pearl Harbor, the misuse of government properties, and the hypocrisy from the US government all contributed to the foundation of internment camps, forever changing the story of Jeanne W. Houston's life as it did for hundreds of thousands of other Japanese Americans.

In” Farewell to Manzanar “by Jeanne Wakatsuki and James D. Houston, the effects of the internment camps on the Japanese-Americans are distinctly illustrated. In the book the chapters deeply show how the characters cope with the loss of their homes, income, and personal freedom, which leads to a sense of displacement and uncertainty. In the book Jeanne Wakatsuki shows the reality and hardship of living in the camps by saying “The camps so hastily thrown together, nothing was completed when we got there and almost nothing worked” (Jeanne Wakatsuki )which shows how bad the camp condition was for the Japanese. In addition to the immediate and long-lasting tragic effects, during World War ll, the imprisonment of Japanese Americans in camps had overwhelming effects and individuals and many in the community. The internment experience also led to a sense of shame, humiliation, and a loss of dignity among those who were unjustly treated Additionally, the long term effects of internment camps included setbacks in society and a disorganization of social networks, as many Japanese Americans faced discrimination and struggled to rebuild their lives after the war which internment camp survivor Marion Takehara goes on to say in an interview  “It made be better, not bitter but better”(Marion Takehara)as she goes on to talk about how her situation made her appreciate life better and learn about different peoples situations.

Internment camps are facilities where individuals or groups are confined, usually by a government or military authority, often during conflict, war, political upheaval, or perceived national security threats. These camps were made for many purposes, for instance, the detention of enemy combatants, civilians of enemy nations, individuals considered threats to national security, and members of specific ethnic or religious groups. Notable examples of well known Camps include World War 1, where they established Internment camps to detain individuals perceived as threats to national security. The primary individuals involved were Germans, Austrians, or Ottoman descendants.

World War II was prominently known for using Internment camps. This was spoken about in the book "Farewell to Manzanar." The book talks about a girl named Jeanne Wakatsuki and her family's challenges and struggles in Internment camps. During World War II, the U.S. detained over 100,000 Japanese Americans, including some German and Italian descent, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

The Armenian Genocide Camp was located in the Ottoman Empire, where Armenian civilians were removed from their homes and detained in camps where many faced abuse, starvation, and death. Lastly are the Totalitarian regimes of Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, and Khmer Rouge Cambodia. They established forced labor and concentration camps to confine political dissidents, ethnic minorities, and other perceived enemies of the state.

The similarities in these camps were that they had harsh conditions, forced labor, and systematic brutality. The four camps involve the deprivation of basic liberties, including freedom of movement and protection from detention. "Life in the camps had a military favor; internees slept in barracks or small compartments with no running water, took their meals in vast mess halls, and went about most of their daily business in public," said the writers of Behind the Wires. They would put people in harsh living conditions, which broke many. "In the concentration camps, we discovered this whole universe where everyone had his place. The killer came to kill, and the victims came to die." - Ellie Wiesel. This quote helps show that Internment camps represent a dark aspect of human history that affected everyone who was involved mentally and physically.
