Tule Lake Demonstration Photos
Document 00315, Page 011
Document Notes: Photos of Pro-Japan sympathizers in the Tule Lake Segregation Center. There were thousands of individuals loyal to Japan at Tule Lake after the segregation of disloyals. These photos show, among other things, military drills and ceremonies. That thousands had petitioned the government to be returned to Japan to fight against the U.S. makes one wonder what would have happened had they been allowed to run loose on the West Coast during a time when we were taking tens of thousands of casualties in the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. These folks were certified fanatics.
Page Notes: Nisea renunciants inside processing building, signing up for repatriation in conformance with the Department of Justice Command, announced October 26, 1945, that they MUST do it. Many wrote in above their names that they were doing so under protest . . . and some were forced to tear up these papers and make out others without the protest item.
