The foregoing listing cites almost 70 locations for the internment of civilians
in the United States
during World War II.. In October 1990, the author,
under the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act, requested an exhaustive list
of the internment facilities and detention centers used by the U.S. Government
during World War II. Almost two years later, on August 23, 1993, the
Immigration and Naturalization Service responded with a partial list and said,
"no guarantee can be made that the list provided
is exhaustive. No definitive list now exists." See FOIPA request CO
2.12.-C; CO 904151
We
remain astonished that the multi-million dollar 1982 report, Personal
Justice Denied, of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of
Civilians depicts only four internment sites in the United States.
Furthermore the report does not report on any internment facilities east of the
Mississippi River. See page xii of the cited
report.
