This picture of fifth-grade girls playing on November 3, 1942 is no different than the previous picture. It is a convenient view on the normalcy of life in the internment camps. November 3rd of 1942 marked the last day of inmates being transferred from temporary camps to permanent ones. This would have been a significant day in the imprisonment of Japanese Americans, so it makes sense that there are so many pictures of happy children. The more the government could project the humanity of the inmates, the less inhumane their wrongful imprisonment would appear. This was a technique used throughout the war, and “the majority of incarceration photographs produced for U.S. officials depicted Japanese Americans in ways that celebrated their putative virtues rather than their purported flaws” (Alinder, 2). By taking very specific pictures, the U.S. was able to write history the way the wanted it to be recorded. It was also easier to take pictures of children playing because it captured an innocence that was absent in the camps other than in childhood play, and because it did not have to be specifically staged. This picture helped to create the tone the U.S. government wanted to project about the camps.
