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.

The Census Bureau In On Japanese-American Internments-- Part 1
From the April 12, 2018, Chicago Tribune "Disclosure count against Census Bureau" by Lori Aratani, Washington Post.
The Census Bureau plans to ask people in the 2020 count if they are U.S. citizens, bringing about fears that the information might be used to target those in the country illegally.
This has not been done since 1950.
It is illegal to use that information that would identify individuals or families for target purposes.
And target is exactly what the government did at the beginning of U.S. involvement in World War II.
