Show DAVE TATSUNO #1 the best of a very unfortunate situation and that any other group of people under the same circumstance, they wouldn't have taken it as well as the JapaneseAmericans and I think that that's true. ST: Yeah. DT: I really believe that people were stoical and did the best they could under the circumstances and in the light of what we see today. Well, for example, some of the third generation Japanese said, "Why did you not fight the evacuation at that time?" ST: Mmh. DT: "Why did you go so willingly?" But, you know, the sentiment of today is so drastically different from what they were at that time after Pearl Harbor. ST: Yeah. DT: And with the war going on, people killing each other, why any kind of protest would have been futile. ST: Yes. DT: You just couldn't do anything about it so it was the only thing to do. Well, actually, I remember at the Tanforan Family Center one night, there was a town hall meeting in which the topic was "Is the Evacuation a Military necessity," and you know, I look back on it and say, "It's a laugh now." ST: Yeah. 37 |
