The picture of the family transferred from Manzanar to Tule Lake was the image the U.S. wanted people to have of interment. They wanted to produce a feeling of togetherness with the families being kept together. This picture is disturbing because of the adults. The children are rightfully terrified, but the parents are forced to smile for the camera. Children in this picture are used as leverage to the sentimentality that families were being kept together and comfortable during interment. In many ways this picture speaks to Alinder’s argument that “Japanese American incarceration photographs seem to portray the concentration camps as somehow normal” (15). Normal, in context of this picture, is creating the sense that this family was on vacation, as if they were going about their lives. Even the text that was originally printed with the picture makes the whole scene look like a family vacation: “People from the Manzanar Relocation Center were moved to the Tule Lake Segregation Center and quartered in the ten blocks which had been built as an addition at Tule Lake. They arrived in four special trains and were taken directly from the railroad to their new homes” (Densho). The use of “special” in the text makes it seem that this was a unique experience to be treasured by this family. This picture was used to create a scene of normalcy to project into the American public during the time of internment.
