The vignette I chose to describe was one of a family in tears because they were forced to lose everything.
The vignette consists of family standing in front of a pit of fire filled with all of they’re belongings that they have to leave behind.
The mother is covering her face because she is crying so hard and stand to look at all of the family’s beloved items.
The father is throwing a doll into the fire that belongs to their daughter.
The daughter is holding her father from behind and giving him a tight squeeze due to her sadness.
The background of this vignette is a car loaded up with only a few suitcases that they were allowed to bring and a house behind them.
In the fire pit there are items the family was forced to throw away to show that they were leaving their culture behind.
A symbol of this is the old Japanese flag burning in that fire.
This vignette caught my eye because of how sad I felt when I saw it.
The pain these people had to go through was horrible and through this vignette I really saw what they had gone through.
Looking at this memorial gave me a better picture of what the Japanese internment camps were like and I hope that things like this never happen again in this country.
