    Where were the Watasukis moved to during WWII (World War II)?

    • Manzanar

    • Japan

    • California

    Correct Answer
    A. Manzanar
    Explanation
    During World War II, the Watasukis were moved to Manzanar. Manzanar was one of the ten internment camps where thousands of Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated by the US government. The government justified this action as a security measure, fearing that Japanese Americans might be loyal to Japan. However, the internment of Japanese Americans has since been widely regarded as a grave violation of civil rights and a result of racism and xenophobia. Manzanar, located in California, became a symbol of the injustice and hardship endured by Japanese Americans during this dark period in American history.

    The Watasuki's covered the holes with tin can lids to stop the dust from coming in during the night. This method would be effective in preventing dust from entering the room, as tin can lids can create a seal over the holes, blocking any dust particles from entering. Using tape or clothes may not provide a strong enough barrier to completely stop the dust from coming in.
