Farewell to Manzanar
Farewell to Manzanar is Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's memoir of her experiences during World War II, when Japanese-Americans were held at internment camps because of their ancestry. I found some similar and parallel experiences as Houston had during other national origins when they have war with America. First, for instance, the parallel experience I found as Houston’s experience is the concentration camp in Germany during the World War I. During the World War I, German put Jews in concentration camps. Although Jews contributed a lot in Germany especially in financial prospect, German had hatred against these Germany citizens. Therefore, they put these Jewish people into the highly security concentration camps. As very similar situation, Houston and her family were held in the internment camp during the World War II. Because of their ancestry, they were treated as an enemy after the attack of Pearl Harbor.
