Manzanar and Bataan
I can’t agree with Roger Norton’s implication that the Bataan Death March (letter, Dec. 20) should somehow mitigate sympathy for those interned at Manzanar. The difference, and it is a crucial one, is that the perpetrators of the Bataan atrocity were Japanese soldiers. The victims of internment were mostly American civilians.
