Many Japanese Americans did not know where they were being sent.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes true
• D. Not sure

Answer: (A)

During WWII, Japanese Americans were evacuated under orders that moved people quickly and with limited disclosure. The government and the relocation authorities often did not tell families their final destinations in advance. People were first sent to temporary assembly centers and then to interior relocation camps, and many learned where they were being sent only when they arrived—or even while already en route. This secrecy and urgency fostered a lot of uncertainty and fear, as families packed with minimal information about what lay ahead. Accounts from survivors and official records show this pattern, so the statement is true.
