American women in American clothes with American hairstyles, born and bred on American soil, sent to live in American "relocation" camps. Oh, sure, they didn't mind - look how happy they all were. No surprise that this photo was originally taken for the U.S. Office of War Information.

I wonder what these ladies said about this afterward.
What are they all looking at, off camera?
Bob Hope. He dropped by to entertain them after doing the USO shows over seas.
That I'd like to see.
