Abstract

Adult education Asian American studies Asian Americans Colleges & universities Japanese Americans Japanese language Military history Sports
The Puyallup Assembly Center was one of fifteen (xiii) or sixteen (5) temporary detention centers where, in 1942, Nikkei (people of Japanese ancestry) were forcibly confined prior to incarceration in War Relocation Authority (WRA) camps. Sports, games, a library, a dance band, phonograph record concerts, and adult education classes helped pass the time.
