Effects of the Japanese Internment camps
Not many of those put in the camps survived and those who did had trouble coming back into a regular way life because they sold their land and their businesses so they again had to start and rebuild their lives from the bottom up."By the time the war ended, most Issei were too old to restart their careers and forced to depend on their children. In the most extreme cases, the anguish of being released from camp without the opportunity to regain work and lost sense of purpose led some to commit suicide. "(http://encyclopedia.densho.org/) There were also many who came out of the camps with the mental illnesses ."The detachment and avoidance of trauma-related stimuli demonstrated by the Nisei have been seen as paralleling symptoms of posttraumatic stress."(http://encyclopedia.densho.org/) It was very difficult for many of them to come back into a normal way of life after their experience in the camps and their now broken trust with most Americans, mostly the white Americans who were so hurtful and cruel when the mandate had been issued and the racial discrimination beforehand. Along with the government that had put them there in the first place.
