On Friday, Lia's grandfather, Mr. Doi told us about his experience during his speech he told us about his; childhood, Pearl Harbor/ his family's reaction to it, camp life, integrating back into society , reparations, and his life today. Mr. Doi was interned when he was starting high school and that's when he knew things were getting worse. He was friends with people at his school who had different races and it was hard for him to adjust. He even planned a pool party once but couldn't attend his own party because he is Japanese. At the time of Pearl Harbor everyone would say to him and his family 'you bombed us' and he would say 'no they bombed us'. In the camps, Mr. Doi made many lasting relationships with the people he was interned with and out of this awful experience he made some great friendships. After they were released from the camps it was hard for a lot of people to get back into the swing of things because some people had lost their houses, jobs and families. When it came to repararations, Mr. Doi thinks that depending on the family and how much they lost that's how much they should be repaid. And some people did refuse the payment. In conclusion, it was very beneficial to have a personal perspective of the Japanese internment than just reading about it I am thankful for this experience.
