After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and the United States entered a war in Europe and the Pacific, the nation was overcome by shock, anger, and fear—a fear exaggerated by long-standing anti-Asian prejudice. On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, under which nearly 75,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry were taken into custody. Another 45,000 Japanese nationals living in the United States—but long denied citizenship because of their race—were also incarcerated. Harold Hayashi was in the 7th grade at the time he was forced to move with his family to Tanforan Assembly Center. They were later moved to the Topaz Relocation Center. In her note, his mother Margaret Hayashi also asked Harold's teacher to transfer his academic records so the could continue his education in the incarceration camp.
