Japanese Internment Camp: Topaz, Utah
Executive Order 9066, as issued by President FDR, forced the relocation of all people of Japanese ancestry, citizens or otherwise, to 10 internment camps scattered amongst the southwest due to unwarranted fears regarding national security.
In this video we visit one of the largest of these camps, located in Topaz, Utah, and discuss this dark history.

Topaz Internment Camp - Delta, Utah
Located west of Delta, Utah is the remains of the Topaz Internment Camp. Between 1942 to 1946 the Topaz camp was home to about 10,000 Japanese who were sent there by the U.S. Government, shortly after the attack of Pearl Harbor. War time hysteria caused the relocation of 120,000 Japanese Americans to be relocated to one of ten inland camps.
Today, the only remains of the Topaz Camp are isolated concrete pads spread out over the desert and hidden amongst the sage brush. As you explore the area small signs mark some of the concrete pads such as the Fire Station, and the Hospital. This area is considered an Historic site so please don't remove any artifacts you may find and please obey the signs.

Central Utah Relocation Center (Topaz Internment Camp)
Over 120,000 Japanese-Americans, two thirds of whom are U.S. Citizens, are uprooted from their west coast homes and incarcerated by their own government. It is 1942, wartime hysteria is at a peak. They are imprisoned in ten inland concentration camps where they remain behind barbed wire, under suspicion and armed guards for up to 3 1/2 years. Topaz is one of the ten camps.
Without hearings or trials, this act of injustice is based solely on the color of their skin and the country of their origin. America’s fear and distrust of these citizens – precipitated by Japan’s attack upon Pearl Harbor – is placated.
Lost within this rush to judgement is the denial of constitutional rights, major losses of personal property and the labelling of its own citizens as enemy. Ironically, through this ma...

Scenes from the Topaz War Relocation Center (Japanese WW2 Camp in the US)
Hidden American history in the arid Utah desert. This place is in a quite remote part of Utah. To reach this place, you drive to the west most populated area on route 6 in Utah (Delta), outside Delta, there are a series of dirt roads one takes to get there. Once there, the camp area is fenced off, with one or two entry points. Roads inside the area are not passable too far in with a passenger car. Most of the buildings have been destroyed, though labeled with signs, some with foundations still intact. Most of the signs in this video were at a 'welcome area' to the site which is off the 'main road'.

As a child, Toru Saito and his family were forced to leave their home in San Francisco to a government assembly center at the Tanforan Racetrack in nearby San Bruno, California.
Saito witnessed the suffering that Japanese Americans experienced. Saito discusses how Japanese Americans felt after being uprooted, how many had shown strength of character during this difficulty, and how they endured the racism they experienced during this period and after World War II. This clip is a selection from an hour interview of Yada for the documentary, "_Time of Fear_", which shared the stories of Japanese Americans who were interned in Arkansas during the war.
Saito was among 110,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans who were sent to internment camps under Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066. Signed on Feb. 19, 1942, the order granted the U. S. government authority to relocate both citizens and non-citizens based on the fear that anyone with Japanese ancestry was a potential spy or saboteur.
This interview is a part of UALR's Center for Arkansas History and Culture's collection, "Life Interrupted." Every month, the Center will release a new interview clip, leading up to our exhibit on Japanese American internment in Arkansas, which will open in September 2014.

Over 120,000 Japanese-Americans, two thirds of whom are U.S. Citizens, are uprooted from their west coast homes and incarcerated by their own government. It is 1942, wartime hysteria is at a peak. They are imprisoned in ten inland concentration camps where they remain behind barbed wire, under suspicion and armed guards for up to 3 1/2 years. Topaz is one of the ten camps.
Without hearings or trials, this act of injustice is based solely on the color of their skin and the country of their origin. America’s fear and distrust of these citizens – precipitated by Japan’s attack upon Pearl Harbor – is placated.
Lost within this rush to judgement is the denial of constitutional rights, major losses of personal property and the labelling of its own citizens as enemy. Ironically, through this mass incarceration is spearheaded by thoughts of disloyalty, not a single case of espionage against the U.S. is ever discovered.
Indeed, the 442nd RCT and 100th Battalion, composed entirely of young Japanese–American boys (many of whom volunteered from internment camps), suffer major war casualties and go on to become the U.S. Army’s most highly decorated combat unit in its history.
Topaz is closed in October of 1945. The memory of Topaz remains a tribute to a people whose faith and loyalty were steadfast – while America’s had faltered.
