Japanese Internment Camps

Another post for the sake of my socials teacher -__-

the essay "Safekeeping" Meant nothing

I think that the person who narrated it had a pretty rough life, having al his stuff taken away and being sent to live where he did is really bad.

I think back then Canadians were just plain rascist, simple as that. They thought that just because the Japanese in Japan are gonna bomb them, that ALL the Japanese people (most of which were born in canada) are gonna do something bad and are gonna try and hurt them. Plus I think Canadians just needed someone to blame, so they turned back to someone they had a grudge against, The Japanese

I think the reason that canadians only picked on the Japanese was for one they had been against Japanese coming to canada in the first place ever since they started stealing Canadians fishing jobs with there superior skill. Also it was an easy minority to pick out, you could not walk down the street and say "Hey, that guy is german let's deport him!"
but you could probably do that with Japanese or other asian minorities.

I think that Canadians wanted to apologize to the Japanese for their predecessors stupid racist mistakes, so they decided that money compensation was the easiest way to do it. I think if it was nowadays, we would give money to the peoples relatives and not just the people who are still alive, plus we would have given them MORE money.

These are the memoirs of a woman named Naomi River living during the depression in Canada.

Feb 28 1930: For most of our married life, Nate has been relatively well of, but our stocks have been going down a lot recently, so Nate has gotten a second job hoping to keep the income up to what it has been. I’m pretty sure we will be fine, but he thinks with a baby on the way he better make sure we can live comfortably for the next few years. He is such a good husband.

March 22 1931: Our stocks are way down and Nate is worrying a lot. He doesn’t understand that we will be fine, these things happen; stocks go up and down, that’s how the stock market works. But he insisted that we cut back, and since little Matt was born we have been burning through the money trying to keep him happy and healthy. But if Nate thinks that we should cut back, I will try and do so.

Dec 13 1931: Our funds are pretty much depleted. Nate has insisted he go to a work camp so he can make at least some money, so Matt and I can have a happy life. I really wish i did not have to be this way. He says he should be back by Matt’s 1^st birthday.

Feb 1 1932: Where is he? Not only is he not back yet, I stopped receiving money. Matt and I are really suffering, I don’t know what to do, I can’t get a job cause I don’t have money to pay someone to watch Matt all day! Where am I supposed to get money! I guess if I want to survive I am going to have to get some sort of job, but I have no training, what can I do? I can always ask the neighbour’s to watch Matt, but who would hire a useless widow like me?!?

August 24 1932: It’s the end of the line; I don’t know what to do. My boss is not paying me enough while at the same time he keeps asking me if I would marry him! I can’t handle this anymore, I’m going to have to tell him of next time I go in to work, He does not seem like a very forgiving man, so I don’t know what’s going to happen, but this has to stop! And to top of this entire horrible life I have been suffering through, Matt has caught some disease that really is hurting him! I don’t know what I am going to do about it. This thing we call life is a horrible thing! Why did I have to be born at that time!? Why did Matt!? Suffering through a pointless existence just to get to the final stage, death, why wait? Why not just end it now?! No, I have to be strong! For Matt, for Nate, I have to keep living!

On April 28^th Matt River died of lung cancer due to his caretaker’s negligence.

After that day Naomi River was not seen, alive, again.
