Question: How long did your family spend in an internment camp?

Answer: We were sent from Florin, California, to a temporary facility at the Fresno County fairgrounds for 6 months beginning in May of 1942. From there our family along with others from California were sent to Jerome, [Arkansas]. We were never at Topaz. The US government set up 10 internment camps in various locations in the United States. These camps were located in desolate, unpopulated places throughout the continental states. The government did not want the people of the United States to know much about the internment of 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry.



What was the interviewee’s purpose?

I think it's A

I agree.

Thanks I got 90% percent on my test the last question is asked was either B or D and I put D because the question did seem like it had a flaw because in the interview I read the interviewer never responded to the answers that the interviewee was saying so I put D and it was B sad *face*

To confirm the interviewee's purpose, we can analyze the given response. The interviewee provides detailed information about their family's experience in internment camps during World War II. They mention the locations they were sent to, the duration of their stay, and highlight the government's attempt to keep the internment a secret. Based on this information, it can be inferred that the interviewee's purpose is to spread awareness of the injustice and discrimination faced by Japanese Americans during this time. Therefore, your answer of "A) to spread awareness of injustice" is correct.
