During WW II, some 110,000 Japanese-Americans, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, were interned in ten 'Relocation Camps.' First settled and the most famous, Manzanar camp was constructed in Owens Valley, California. So far, quite a few interviews with Japanese-American internees have been held. It seems, however, to be rather difficult to find the documentation of interviews with the 'ordinary' Caucasians who lived in Owens Valley during the period. California State University Fullerton Oral History Program,officially inaugurated in 1967, keeps the tapes and its documentation of nearly 2,000 interviews. As to Japanese evacuation and relocation, Arthur A. Hansen and his staff began to concentrate on it in 1973. Their efforts inevitably included the interviews with Caucasians living in Lone Pine and Independence, both situated in Owens Valley and only several miles from Manzanar camp. Four short interviews with female Caucasians will be introduced in this article. Readers might be recommended another book, Roger Axford, Too Long Silent: Japanese-Americans speak Out, 1986, which contains interviews with Japanese-American internees. The text used for translation is Camp and Community : Manzanar and the Owens Valley, 1978, CSUF. The title of the book was originally Jap Camp and was changed into the title above through the contest and charges from Japanese-American militants.
