Orphanage with Japanese American Children
-
Description
-
Children with as little as one-eighth Japanese ancestry were removed from West Coast orphanages and foster homes and incarcerated in a new orphanage in Manzanar. Colonel Karl Bendetsen‚'s order is said to have stated, ‚"If they have one drop of Japanese blood in them, they must all go to camp.‚" Some of the children were originally in an orphanage because the FBI had taken their parents after Exclusion Order 5252, which authorized the arrest of non-naturalized Japanese residents as ‚"dangerous enemy aliens.‚" Photograph by Ansel Adams, Orphanage in Manzanar, 1943. Library of Congress LC-DIG-ppprs-00425.
