Today is Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S., a “day that will live in infamy” for the unprovoked attack by the Empire of Japan upon U.S. forces stationed in Hawaii. But it also marked a dark turning point for Japanese Americans, who overnight became the “enemy.” (1/4)

I think what we did was wrong (including removing Native Alaskans from their villages in the Aleutians to poorly serviced camps in SE Alaska) but the stories from Bataan and the Japanese treatment of prisoners of war, must bear some degree on US sentiment. Not saying it was right, but what the Japanese did was absolutely unconscionable. That has never been truly absolved.
