Home of the Notorius No-Nos

Tule Lake Segregation Center...Tule Lake Internment Camp...Tule Lake Relocation Center. Whatever it is called, one thing was certain...it was the most brutal, the largest and the only maximum security camp where American citizens of Japanese descent were housed during WWII. Loyalty questionnaires were given and because of awkward phrasings and the fear and distrust of the American government, many in the camps across the country answered "No" to some of the questions. Answering no to 2 specific questions earned them a 1-way ticket to Tule Lake, which was also the last camp to be closed in 1946.
