Show LK RU LK RU What were you telling the officials would happen at that time? That they'd just destroy Japanese town and you'd just destroy the Japanese community. It was just like, you know, the Jewish holacaust, we were saying that when the evacuation took place all the Japanese were forcibly removed one time and some of the people that owned businesses that were there were people who relocated from the West coast and carne to the Intermountain and, you know, relocated to Utah and on 1st South. Now, ~for• the second · time, through government action, because of a group that didn't have any political power or economic power, they were being forcibly removed. The majority has imposed its will on the minority and they said, you're going to go and, you know, that's what happen ed. And so that was of the things we brought up and again, we don't have the resources to protect ourselves and we are being forcibly removed with no ... No legal recourse, as it were. well, it wasn't so much the legal, but it was just a social economic forces that played on removing us and we didn't have enough, you know, political or social or economic power to defend ourselves so what ultimately happened was that those forces just exerted their will and we were removed and we had no way to rehabilitate the community or to keep the community 18 |
