In October 1942, Italians were removed from the \u201cenemy alien\u201d classification, and evacuees were allowed to return to the prohibited zones from which they had been removed. However, internees and excludees were not permitted to return to their homes until late 1943, after Italy surrendered. Most returned to their communities quietly, with few of their neighbors aware of where they had been.<\/p>\n<p>Late in 1942, the Department of Justice began to review the cases of interned Jews and anti-Nazis, due partly to pressure from the U.S. Jewish community, Catholic groups, and the American Civil Liberties Union. By April 1943, most were granted a parole status called \u201cinternment at-large.\u201d At least 16 of those paroled were then drafted or volunteered for the U.S. Army. The last of the 81 Jews from Latin America were freed in 1946. During and after the war, 74 of them chose to remain in the United States.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;725&#8243; img_size=&#8221;429&#215;550&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/internment-order-issued-by-AG-to-Max-Ebel.jpg&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: .7rem;\"><strong>January 9, 1943, internment order issued by the U.S. Attorney General to German detainee Max Ebel after 3-1\/2 months in custody.<\/strong> <em>National Archives.

Two months after the European hostilities ended in May of 1945, President Harry Truman issued Presidential Proclamation 2655 ordering the deportation of \u201cdangerous enemy aliens\u201d who were still interned. Thus, many Germans and their U.S. citizen families were involuntarily \u201crepatriated\u201d to war-devastated Germany and left there to fend for themselves. Germans who did not want to repatriate remained interned and fought desperately for years to avoid being deported. By mid-1948, the camps were empty, but the last German internee was not released until 1949 (from Ellis Island). Some had been interned for nearly seven years.\u00a0 For many, the internment nightmare began and ended at Ellis Island. Known for welcoming immigrants, it was used longer than any other facility for internment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;zoomIn&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>\u201c[We] landed at Uraga port in Tokyo Bay\u2026 We went to a distant place, on foot, to find someone who would exchange food for clothing, and also to river banks to gather grass to satisfy our empty stomachs.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2014 <strong>Mitsuaki Oyama,<\/strong> Japanese Peruvian internee who was deported to Japan at the end of the war.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: .7rem;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-751\" src=\"https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Repatriates-to-Japan-boarding-a-ship-docked-in-Seattle-WA-600x354.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cRepatriates\u201d to Japan boarding a ship docked in Seattle, WA\" width=\"600\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Repatriates-to-Japan-boarding-a-ship-docked-in-Seattle-WA-600x354.jpg 600w, https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Repatriates-to-Japan-boarding-a-ship-docked-in-Seattle-WA-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Repatriates-to-Japan-boarding-a-ship-docked-in-Seattle-WA.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: .7rem;\"><strong>\u201cRepatriates\u201d to Japan boarding a ship docked in Seattle, Washington, November 24, 1945.<\/strong> <em>National Archives. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Most internees had a very difficult time re-entering society after their long incarceration. They had lost their homes and belongings and could not go back to their old jobs. Many were stigmatized, particularly in the many communities where their internment was well-publicized. Others, particularly children, had their educational and economic opportunities seriously curtailed. Most internees never completely made the transition back to the life they had before government agents first knocked on their doors. Deportees trying to return to the United States or Latin America had an even more difficult time surviving in war-devastated countries, with most unable to return to their homes and businesses.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]With Japan\u2019s formal surrender in September of 1945, Truman issued Presidential Proclamation 2662, authorizing the State Department to deport the Latin American internees and anyone else still deemed \u201cdangerous.\u201d However, most Latin American governments initially refused to re-admit the internees of Japanese ancestry. Peru allowed only 77 internees of Japanese ancestry \u2013 all Peruvian citizens or married to citizens \u2013 to return in 1946. Thus, between November 1945 and June 1946, at least 945 Japanese Peruvians and 112 other Japanese Latin Americans were deported to war-devastated Japan.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;zoomIn&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>\u201cFinally, in 1947, we were shipped [from Crystal City] to Ellis Island\u2026 I spent too much time facing the back of the Statue of Liberty.

Over two-thirds were released to an economic guarantor such as Seabrook Farms, a frozen-food processing plant in New Jersey, which welcomed them as a source of cheap labor.
