Jeanne Wakatuski was only seven years old when her family was ordered to the Manzanar internment camp after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which sparked the American fear of all Japanese during World War II. Farewell to Manzanar explores her memories as a young girl growing up amongst the hastily erected camp as it grew into a typical American town in a ways except for one; freedom.
