Description

California Audiovisual Preservation Project (CAVPP)
Contains interviews at the Santa Anita Race Track (Arcadia, Calif.) in 1942. Santa Anita was the largest and the longest-occupied of the temporary WCCA camps. Its peak population was 18,719. Over 8,500 Japanese Americans lived in converted horse stalls at the racetrack. It was the only "assembly center" to run a camouflage net factory, operated under military contract. The majority of Santa Anita's inmates were shipped to Heart Mountain, Rohwer, Granada, and Jerome.
