Caption with image, "10,000 people were evacuated within the space of three weeks by the Army. Race tracks and fair grounds were changed overnight into Assembly Centers with military police and barbed wire." "The military policed opened the bus door and we stepped into the bus as our family number was called. Many spectators stood around. At that moment I recalled some of the stories told on shipboard by European refugees bound for America.We were silent on the trip except for a group of four University of California boys who were singing college songs. The bus crossed the Bay Bridge. Everyone stared at the beautiful view as if for the last time. The singing stopped." (p. 26, Citizen 13660)
