Utah: Topaz Internment Camp

[Krishtar]

Today I visited Sutherland, Utah virtually and discovered these ruins next to an old agriculture area. They call it Topaz Internment Camp. There are a lot of old dry canals and ruins in this area, and it made me wonder if this camp might have been been built on top of an older site. I see the sign Never Again and I have to wonder about people these days.

Unfortunately the phrase " Never Again" is just a guide line.

The Enhanced Drivers License or 'ID' has a GOLD STAR on it.

The reasoning during that time period was nothing but politics for fear. The government was knowledgeable that losing the war was a possibility. Reaction divide all races with fear of the Immigrants, even the Germans were attacked as traitors of America for stating the obvious problems with going to war on such flimsy intelligence. this allowed one to illegally imprison anyone that could undermine the coming war.

If people are segregated from society those people lose their oneness as Americans. People then will believe anything negative about them.

Some of the nicest people in the world, smart, worked very hard and loyal to family and America.

Few people wanted to go to war with anyone, least of all the Germans or Japan.

Muddled thoughts
