Historians, help me out: What do you know about the internment of German Americans and Italian Americans during World War II?
The website of the German-American Internee Coalition lists several sources, and it has a lengthy set of lesson plans (too much for use in Texas, I fear). Is this information accurate? Has anyone used it in a classroom, and can you tell us your experience? Is there a mention of this in your world history or U.S. history text?
Please respond in comments.
