In addition to what other people were saying, there were a very small number of instances where the neighbors of Japanese-Americans took over their businesses and homes so that they'd be able to give them back once they returned.

If you ever get a chance, visiting the Japanese American National Museum in LA is worth the trip to learn more about the history, which is where I learned about this.

i actually read one amazing story where a town barricaded a japanese family in their family owned hardware store and when the national guard came to kidnap them, the town stood together, like 3000 people to prevent them from coming.

AMAZING how people had that sense of community back then
