Answer:

Though made to jump through many hoops by an overzealous security apparatus, thousands of mostly young Japanese Americans left the concentration camps in 1943 and '44 with the encouragement of the WRA. Prohibited from returning to the West Coast, they mostly headed east for college or for jobs and better opportunities.
