Crystal City Internment Camp

Crystal City Internment Camp

Crystal City Internment Camp was a World War II internment camp, named for Crystal City, Texas, the town where it was located. Many Japanese, German, and Italian Americans, as well as some Hispanics were imprisoned there for the duration of the war.[1][2] Among the internees were many Japanese Peruvians rounded up in 1942 by the Peruvian government and sent to the U.S. for internment. (Even so, Peru did not declare an actual "state of belligerency" with Japan [and Germany] until 1945.) [3]
