Eden tells us about a difficult time in US history. During World War Two, after Japan bombed the United States’ Pearl Harbor, terrible discrimination began against Japanese Americans. The US government rounded up people of Japanese Ancestry and sent them what were essentially prison camps. It was not until the end of the war that the Japanese Americans were finally released. Today, the “National Japanese American Memorial for Patriotism during World War II” stands in Washington DC. The memorial lists the names of the 10 relocation camps along with the numbers of those forced to live at each camp. It also pays tribute to the thousands of Japanese Americans who fought for the United States in World War Two.
