How did individual European Americans treat you? Were people sympathetic or cold to the way you were being treated? Also, did anybody help you out by watching over your property while you were interred and then giving it back to you when the war war over?
Edit: Okay, so I read further and see that your family had to start over economically. Do you know of any instances where European Americans helped any Japanese Americans out, either by protecting their property while they were gone or any other way? Just curious. I'll feel better about "the Greatest Generation" if any of them took matters into their own hands to do the right thing for friends or neighbors who happened to be of Japanese extraction.
