Note:
Barrack: Extended "families" of six or more were crowded into tiny partitionless rooms. Room assignments were made without
regard to sex, age or closeness of relationship. Five or more such "Families" shared each barrack. Walls were paper-thin and
privacy was non-existent. An army cot and two blankets were the only things provided for prisoners, who were not allowed to
bring anything except clothing and toiletries they could personally carry. Over 18,000 prisoners lived in these barracks from
1942 to 1945. Note the television antenna in the back: Some people are still living in these old barracks.
