At one of the few remaining camp fixtures, the foundation of Block 73 latrine, a Nisei who spent his early teens in Tule Lake told a small cluster of us that his family had answered No to the loyalty questions for fear that his older brothers would be drafted into the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.

 Tule Lake Segregation Center--Featured in the National Register's Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month Feature - 2006
Tule Lake was the largest and longest-lived of the ten camps built by the civilian War Relocation Authority (WRA) to house Japanese Americans relocated from the west coast of the United States under the terms of Executive Order 9066.
In 1943, Tule Lake was converted to a maximum security segregation center for evacuees from all the relocation centers whom the WRA had identified as “disloyal.” Consequently, it had the most guard towers, the largest number of military police, eight tanks, and its own jail and stockade.
In spite of the high security, the center continued to be plagued by conflict; in November 1943, Tule Lake was taken over by the army and continued under martial laws until January 1944.
