Our threads class had a privilege to have Mr. Doi, Lia's grandfather, come talk to our class about his life before, during, and after in an internment camp called tule Lake. I was honored that we got to experience his story. As a child, Mr. Doi lived in a town where there was any harsh separation with racism. But after the attack of Pearl Harbor, by the Japanese, tensions stared getting worse. The Americans leadereds were the suddenly scared that Japanese-Americans could be spy's and they sent them all to internment camps. He talked about how they eventually adapted to the living conditions over the long three years but he never understood why they were being put into camps. After they we're let out, he explained how many people had no idea where to go and some peoples houses were even burnt down by white Americans. But feeling somewhat bad for what they did to the Japanese, they gave them $20,000 to start a new life with. Many families took the money but some didn't cause they felt so betrayed to their own country but even though it wasn't a lot it was better that nothing.
