Yearbooks of Japanese-American high school students interned at Tule Lake. I can’t remember which of my relatives was at Tule Lake…

    Your grandfathers were sent to Tule Lake Detention Center as were a lot of Issei business owners, ministers, teachers, etc.
    After a year of so, they were sent to join their families at the federal prison camp in Crystal City, Texas, and the concentration camp in Heart Mountain, Wyoming.
    I don’t use the PC term, “internment camp”. Barbed wire, machine gun towers, and harsh survival conditions in the worst, most desolate areas of the USA is not a “camp”, no matter how loud the racist rationalizations and illogical rantings.
