Answer

George's family stayed in U.S.-run internment camps during World War II because of their Japanese heritage. They were among thousands of Japanese Americans who were forced to leave their homes and live in these camps for the duration of the war. The camps were located in remote areas and were often poorly maintained. The living conditions were harsh and the internees were subjected to discrimination and abuse.
