Famous WW2 Quote
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You win the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"George Patton, 31 May 1944

This community was home to about 3,500 Japanese Americans. On 9 Feb 1942, all of the older men were taken into custody, ten days before the Executive Order authorizing internment was signed. Once Executive Order 9066 was signed, the remaining residents were given 48 hours to evacuate their homes before they were sent to internment camps (most of them going to Manzanar). This was the first Japanese community to be evacuated and interned en masse. Once vacated, the entire neighborhood was bulldozed to the ground.
