Support for Wartime Violations of German American Civil Liberties Act
Between 1939-1948, some 300,000 Americans were labeled as potentially dangerous “enemy aliens” and over 11,000 German Americans were interned. The US government deliberately curtailed people of German ancestry’s freedom of movement through restrictions, registrations, arrests, exclusions, internment, exchanges, and even deportations (featured above is the MS Gripsholm). The proposed legislation aims to formally acknowledge the internment of German Americans and German Latin Americans between 1939-1948, in camps and makeshift facilities, and “directs the Attorney General to create a report that fully details the injustices suffered by people of German descent.” It further recommends that the federal government supports projects that study and “increase awareness of these actions.”
