Archivist Lynn Goodsell talked about various aspects of the World War II "enemy alien control" programs and related records available at the National Archives. Besides the well known internment camps in California and Nevada for people of Japanese ancestry, she noted that camps were also set up for Germans and Italians throughout the United States and Latin America. Ms. Goodsell used PowerPoint to illustrate her presentation. She also responded to questions from members of the audience.
