History of World War II - The Japanese Paranoia

Description

This installment of the HISTORY OF WORLD WAR II series examines the U.S.-perceived Japanese experience of the war with films such as "Our Enemy: The Japanese." In this film, the U.S. Office of War Information offers a biased profile of the Japanese people, depicting them as cruel and senseless people intent on destroying all others. Next, "Japanese Relocation," and "Challenge to Democracy" aim to rationalize the internment of Japanese people in America by claiming that the land they were moved to was fertile and the conditions more than livable. "A Tale of Two Cities" compares the destruction between the Hiroshima and Nagasaki after they were bombed.
