HIS 102
Unit 12: World War II

Camp Tower

I wanted to include these photos about the Second World War. The photo on the bottom is a Russian veteran pausing to remember--you don't celebrate--the Allied victory in Europe which came at such an enormous cost for the Russians. (See my remarks on Russia and World War II.) The photo dates from about 1960 or so. The photo below is a nasty legacy of the American experience in World War II. These are surviving towers from a Japanese-American internment camp where American citizens of Japanese descent were imprisoned during the war.
