Question

In May 1942, Aki Kurose and 7,000 other Japanese Americans were removed from their Seaftle homes and sent to live in converted stables and barracks at a makeshift detention center at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. True or false

Answer 1

True, the forced relocation of Aki Kurose and others was part of the wider internment of Japanese Americans under Executive Order 9066 after the Pearl Harbor attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that Aki Kurose and 7,000 other Japanese Americans were removed from their Seattle homes and sent to live in converted stables and barracks at a makeshift detention center at the Puyallup Fairgrounds in May 1942 is true. This action was part of the larger internment effort authorized by Executive Order 9066, following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

The order led to the forced relocation of about 120,000 Japanese Americans to internment camps throughout the western United States. The internment camps, such as Manzanar and Poston, despite harsh living conditions, developed into wartime communities with governing bodies, schools, and newspapers, although the freedom of the residents was severely restricted and their rights compromised.
