Cooperstown last summer. As we entered the ballpark in our car, we could see the majestic baseball field. People were already working on the fields, making the grass sparkle and the dirt smooth. We drove down the consummately paved road to the barracks and as they came into view, I could see several of them. All of them right next to each other, identical.

Holocaust vs. Japanese-American Internment Camps The Japanese-American and Jewish internment camps were brutal. During a normal war people were not usually placed in barracks and killed because of their ethnicities.

"If you can get that girl back in her room an keep her quite, I won't tell the supervisor that you weren't sleeping" he muttered. As if I didn't have a choice. The barracks was three floors high full of people but at this hour the silence had a certain eeriness to it.
