None of them have done anything wrong. It is racial prejudice and fear that has put these people there. Then imagine that your family volunteers to live in one of these places to help the people who are imprisoned. That is what twelve-year-old Helen Hannan experiences in 1945. She hears about these prisons before most other Americans do. Traveling to a place called Camp Amache with her brother, sister and parents, she quickly discovers this is no summer camp. The families at Amache are living in crowded, cold barracks, behind barbed wirefences, with armed guards watching them from towers. Helen learns to cope with this. She experiences the cost of racial prejudice. She struggles to understand how some people can hurt others so badly. But she also makes many friends, and learns that everyone loves French fries! Most importantly, Helen sees first hand how vital it is to act on your beliefs. 650 $a Japanese Americans $y Evacuation and relocation, 1942-1945 $v Personal narratives. 650 $a Concentration camps $z California. 600 $a Parra, Helen Hannan. 655 $a Biography. 700 $a Parra, Helen Hannan 008 s2021 941 $a 1 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119015853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=582F94A6D89F11EB81BA7E5E52ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
