What was it like sleeping in Manzanar?



While having to move into a new home meant a new bed which wasn't as comfortable the one you had at home. Imagine having to go from sleeping in your room in your bed with a nice mattress to having to make your own bed! All of this happened within a few days short.  notice. You were forced to move out and leave all your personal belongings behind only carrying what you could wear and a couple of suitcases per family. When people first arrived at Manzanar they had to fill up a bag with hay and used that as there new bed as time went on they were eventually able to update to a better one. Since they had lots of Japanese coming in they needed a place where they could all stay and live.
