Investigation of the Facility Conditions and Experiences of Japanese Internees at “Kenedy Enemy Alien Detention Station” During World War II
Get PDFThis study investigates the role and characteristics of the Kenedy Enemy Alien Detention Station, a World War II internment camp located in Texas, with a focus on the experiences of Japanese internees. Commencing operations in April 1942, Camp Kenedy, about sixty miles southeast of San Antonio, detained enemy aliens until late September 1944, after which it was transformed into a prisoner of war (POW) camp, detaining German and later Japanese POWs until December 1945. The research utilizes materials, including lists of internees, reports evaluating aspects such as the number of detainees by nationality, buildings, medical facilities and sickness, recreation and exercise, and complaints at Camp Kenedy. The study aims to shed light on the living conditions and experiences of those confined at the site. The findings reveal that the vast majority of the Japanese internees were taken into custody from Latin America, exclusively from Peru. In contrast, first-generation Japanese immigrants, Issei, and their Japanese American offsprings, Nisei, already residing in Texas were less affected by anti-Japanese sentiments due to their small population size, contributions to local agriculture, and relationships of trust with local citizens. However, some Issei who held prominent roles within local Japanese communities were incarcerated at Kenedy. The author identified fourteen such individuals.departmental bulletin pape
