The New York Times bestselling dramatic and never-before-told story of a secret FDR-approved American internment camp in Texas during World War II: “A must-read….The Train to Crystal City is compelling, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down” (Star-Tribune, Minneapolis).During World War II, trains delivered thousands of civilians from the United States and Latin America to Crystal City, Texas. The trains carried Japanese, German, and Italian immigrants and their American-born children. The only family internment camp during the war, Crystal City was the center of a government prisoner exchange program called “quiet passage.” Hundreds of prisoners in Crystal City were exchanged for other more ostensibly important Americans—diplomats, businessmen, soldiers, and missionaries—behind enemy lines in Japan and Germany. “In this quietly moving book” (The Boston Globe), Jan Jarboe Russell focuses on two American-born teenage girls, uncovering the details of their years spent in the camp; the struggles of their fathers; their families’ subsequent journeys to war-devastated Germany and Japan; and their years-long attempt to survive and return to the United States, transformed from incarcerated enemies to American loyalists. Their stories of day-to-day life at the camp, from the ten-foot high security fence to the armed guards, daily roll call, and censored mail, have never been told. Combining big-picture World War II history with a little-known event in American history, The Train to Crystal City reveals the war-time hysteria against the Japanese and Germans in America, the secrets of FDR’s tactics to rescue high-profile POWs in Germany and Japan, and above all, “is about identity, allegiance, and home, and the difficulty of determining the loyalties that lie in individual human hearts” (Texas Observer).

Mobi The Train to Crystal City: FDR's Secret Prisoner Exchange Program and America's Only Family Internment Camp During World War II with Free MOBI EDITION!

At the onset of World War II, the United States government decided to round up Japanese, German and people of other nation origins to protect the country from sabotage and spying. One little problem was that for the vast majority of these people, there was no proof that they were disloyal or had any intent of harm to the country.This book details the rounding up of Japanese and German citizens and the transfer of them to internment camps located throughout the U.S. A good number of camps were located in California and they are probably the best known internment camps (remains of which can still be seen on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.) One problem with the internments was the separation of family members from each other…men sent to male camps, women sent to female camps with or without their children.This book details the separation of families, the problems the families went through and their eventual arrival at the only camp in the U.S. designed for families to be held together. It was a camp called Crystal City and was located in a desolate and foreboding area of Texas. Life was hard for not only the families, but also the guards who had to live near the cam itself.The book is well written and adds another story to the shameful treatment of American citizens during World War II. This s not part of the history I learned in school. I knew about the Japanese camps, but never about any of the other camps or the forced relocation of anyone other than Japanese. Given what is happening along our Southern border at the moment, this book is a reminder of how carried away government can get and should serve as a lesson of how not to react.
