"The U.S. Government interned some 15,000 German American civilians immediately following the bombing of Pearl Harbor , using lists made months in advance. Some of those interned were Nazi sympathizers, but many more (some 4,058) were Latin-American German Americans forcibly brought to this country to exchange for German-held U.S. nationals, and even Jews who had fled the Holocaust. Not one of the internees was ever charged with, tried for or convicted of a war-related crime against the United States ; the internees, including U.S. citizens, were allowed no legal defense. This ... book contains extensive auto/biographies of former internees, as well as hundreds of photos." --Publisher's website.
