Recruiting Volunteers at Granada
- Title
- Recruiting Volunteers at Granada
- Description
- Recruiting volunteers for the U.S. Army, Captain William S. Fairchild addressed Japanese Americans at the Granada (Amache) Relocation Center. He later handed out a questionnaire designed to determine their loyalty. About 12,000 inmates refused to respond or answered ‚"No‚" to one or both of the loyalty questions. Some Nisei felt the questions were inappropriate for U.S. citizens, or would call them into military service. Others could no longer affirm their allegiance to the United States.
