Read the excerpt from a letter about the Minidoka Relocation Center. It was written by Japanese American Kenji Okuda, who was relocated during World War II. Which two statements represent the central idea of the passage?
The camp is still very far from completed. They had to interrupt movement for a week because of lack of housing facilitiesâin fact the last group of 500 which left had to sleep in mess halls, laundry rooms, and any available bed space. The W. R.A. officials were trying hard enough to have the Army stop the wholesale movementâbut the Army waited until they were absolutely certain that the camp over there could hold no more. There are about 4,500 there nowâand no running hot water as of the latest reports. The sewage and lavatory facilities are still uncompletedâresidents are using outhouses until all construction is completed. The dust out there in the midst of the Minidoka desert, the sagebrush and bugs, must be terrific. Most of the people there suffer from sore throats, and dust storms are terrificâcanât see more than a couple of feet ahead. Many of the residents get nosebleedsâthe fine sand seems to wreak havoc with almost everything. It is entirely possible that if we are there long enough and get water on the soil, we will be able to make a veritable âGarden of Eden.â The first two years will be hardâhow many will be able to live through it and come through triumphant?
