   A photo by Dorothea Lange of Kimiko Kitagaki, tagged and numbered like the luggage surrounding her, as she and other Japanese Americans awaited their forced removal to an internment camp for Japanese Americans, most of them citizens, in World War II. The photo is in the National Archives, and is available for sharing online at Wikimedia Commons.

   It CAN happen here. It HAS happened. And we refuse to learn from our barbarism in the past.

     Perhaps a small consolation, but Ms. Kitagaki survived her time in the concentration camp she and her family were sent to.

     Here's an article I found that features more photos of her and her family back then, as well as photos of her and her brother in 2005:

     @Luna @claralistensprechen3rd Wait until they hear about Steven Miller’s plans for denaturalization.

     @claralistensprechen3rd Yah 42% voted for him probably thinking he wont go after them but when he starts deporting their freinds and family that will change very quickly.

     @Luna @wdlindsy Yeah but Latinos turned out to vote for the guy who wants to deport their relatives. My guess is that as the result of the mass deportation of the relatives of the legals who voted for Trump, those who voted for Trump will self-deport. There goes Trump's base.

     @wdlindsy They definitely are thinking about doing that again but there are a lot more Latinos in the US today than there were Japanese Americans in WWII.
     If they decided to rise up in mass those racists will be in for a very rude awakening.
