She says at the time she knew something happened to them, but had no idea why. Until a neighbor, her surrogate mom after grandmother died, told her that too many people got crazy with fear, and the government couldn't stop them. So they put the Japanese away until the war was over. Mom told her then it didn't make sense, and she still says that to this very day.
I say the same thing. It doesn't make sense that a lot of people willingly give up their damn minds to some nebulous fear and scapegoat a group of people who have nothing to do with any of the real problems that are occuring. It makes no sense to follow trolls who promise a quick solution to your problems, especially while you're watching them selling off your neighbor's stuff after driving them away as undesirables and potential criminals.
