Under Executive Order 9066 (1942), more than 110,000 Japanese Americans were relo-

cated and interred throughout the United States for the duration of the Second World

internment camp in Owens Valley, California.

p raCTICINg historical Thinking

Identify: Note five details from the image.

Analyze: How does the framing of this photograph create sympathy for the child?

Evaluate: Synthesize this image with the image of “Rosie the Riveter” (Doc. 18.8)

and Woodrow Wilson’s call for a League of Nations (Doc. 18.5). How do all three

of these documents describe America’s vision of itself in a global society?
