The students who came to the library loved to hear Miss Breed’s stories. Katherine Tasaki came to return her books. She told Miss Breed that she would have to leave soon. The U.S. government was forcing people of Japanese heritage from their homes and into prison camps. Miss Breed hugged Katherine, gave her a pre-stamped postcard, and said, "Write to us! We'll want to know where you are."

Miss Breed went to the train station where Japanese American families were being forced to move to the prison camps and couldn't believe her eyes! There were hundreds of families. She handed out more stamped and addressed postcards to the children. "Write to me if you need anything!"

Families were sent to the large prisons in California and Arizona. Miss Breed received postcards from the children and in sent them books and encouragement. Life in the prisons was very hard. There were food shortages, few supplies, sicknesses, and no freedom. Miss Breed wrote articles advocating for the families and sent as much help as she could.

Finally the war ended and Japanese Americans were released from the prison camps. Many had nowhere to go. Their homes, livelihoods, shops, businesses, and farms were all gone and they faced much racism. Some moved away to try to start fresh, others moved back to their old neighborhoods to try and rebuild.
About 120,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned at the hands of the U.S. government. They lost their homes, livelihoods, and freedom for years. The U.S. Government apologized over 40 years later. Miss Breed and Katherine remained friends. Clara Breed was honored as a guest as a reunion of Japanese Americans who had been imprisoned in 1991.
