My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

70th Anniversary of Japanese Internment in 2012-- Part 2
At least the United States learned from this internment. Nothing like it happened to Muslims in America after 9-11. //// This 70th anniversary was marked in the San Francisco Bay area. with art exhibits, online photographs, displays and a "Day of remembrance" event. //// The art exhibit features art done by the internees at the Topaz War Relocation Center. The San Jose Morning News had 60 photos of the camps online, some of the photos by Dorothea Lange. San Francisco had a Day of Remembrance on February 19th. //// --GreGen
