Document #3:

Oral Account About Japanese Internment, Told by Yuri Tateshi

“It was terrible because you had to sell everything.  Of course, we got nothing for it, because we had such a short time to go.  The day before we left, we all slept on the floor, cooked on the floor, and ate on the floor.

When we first got to Manzanar [a Japanese internment camp], we were given numbers.  We went to the mess hall [cafeteria], and we were given meals in tin plates and tin cups.  It was canned hot dogs and canned spinach.

After eating, we were taken to our room.  The floors were boarded, boy you could see the ground below.  What hurt most was seeing hay mattresses.  We were used to a regular home.  All of us were in one room.  We felt like prisoners.”
