It was Feb. 19, 1942.

Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor

two months earlier;

For looking like the enemy,

Japanese and Japanese American people in the U.S.

were now considered "enemy combatants"

and the executive order authorized the government

to forcibly remove approximately

125,000 people from their homes

and relocate them to prison camps

around the country.
