Don't know if you're still here answering but if you are...
Did your family lose everything and have to rebuild upon leaving the camps, or was there any sort of recompense at all? There were many Japanese living in my area prior to internment, many of whom owned homes and farms in the area, however from what I've gathered, none of it was returned. You can look at my high school's old graduating class photos, there were many Japanese students at the start of the 40s, then suddenly, there were none at all, I was wondering if this was a common situation for you or people you knew.
