During the Second World War, German Americans from all around the western hemisphere were forced to move to internment camps inside of the United States, from American-born citizens of German heritage to German immigrants in South and Central America. The imprisonment of German Americans is nothing short of a tragedy. Japanese Americans and Italian Americans were also interned, sharing the same internment camps. Both of those groups have been officially recognized by the United States government. German-American Internees, however, have not been officially recognized. In a huge violation of their rights due to just their heritage, many German-American children were forced from their homes, and their families were split, some never to see each other again. These are just some of their stories, given to the public, to help them fight for the recognition they deserve.
