The First video explains how the United States government was handling the issue of
protecting our country after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It was distributed by the US
government, and it was shown to whoever could see it. The video explains what happened to cause the internment, the way they decided to solve the issue, and the conditions that the people of Japanese Descent would be living in. The video is trying to show that the movement of the Japanese people is a good thing and that everyone is ok with it. They mentioned that in order to make sure that all people would be counted, they had to register by filling out an application for the internment. The camps were either built from scratch or buildings were converted to make sure that there was enough housing for all the people. I do not believe that this is an accurate representation of Japanese Americans because it shows all of the Japanese people who were getting on the buses and filling out the paperwork looked so happy. If there is a group of people being removed from the community because of a major event that happened, they would not be happy. The narrator of the video stated that there were people who were volunteering for the spots in the internment camps, but that isn’t believable.

The second video goes into more detail about the history of the event, and what it was like to be a Japanese American citizen during 1941. The video states that the people of Asian descent were viewed as disloyal after the attacks, but they were not liked long before the attacks. Before WWII, people believed that asian immigrants were viewed as economic threats. This also led to the internment. The people being forced into the camps were only given a short amount of time to sell their stuff, and normally there would be a huge price cut, making them lose profits on the things that they would sell. These camps were normally set in the middle of nowhere, making it so there is no way that people could see them. There was no privacy in the camps, and even in the situation they faced, the people still tried to make the best that they
could. The camps were open for three years. After the camps were removed, the people found their homes looted and their stuff gone, making them feel homeless and bare. I feel that this video is more of an accurate representation of how the program went as it is not US propaganda. This video was a documentation on the event, meaning there are not any lies about it to make people who might not be on board become on board. It stated how the people felt about the whole situation, stating that the people were not happy about it, and that when they were able to be back home, they felt as if they were homeless. They were not liked by anyone from the start, and this situation made it worse. People began looting and robbing their
homes and businesses, leaving whatever they had left stolen, making them have nothing when they came home.

I believe that the second video is the most accurate representation of the events that
took place. I believe this because the video goes into more of a detailed explanation of the events that took place during 1941, and it isn’t U.S propaganda. This video states that the people of asian descent were not liked far before the attacks of Pearl Harbor, and that added on to the fact that people wanted the internment camps to happen. When people were taken to the camps, they had very little time to prepare, forcing them to leave most of their belongings wherever they were taken from. During the time of the camps, people would take advantage of this fact and loot the businesses and homes of people of asian descent. When they got home
from the camps, it was stated that they felt homeless and betrayed.These reasons, along with many others, are why I feel that the second video is a much more accurate depiction of the terrible events that took place during 1941 to the Japanese American citizens.t
