3D role-playing online game simulates experience of JAs in WWII ...
Japanese Americans know about internment. My wife Erin’s parents, grandparents and great-grandparents on both sides were rounded up from Sacramento County, Calif. and eventually imprisoned at Rohwer, one of two concentration camps in Arkansas built during World War II to house Japanese Americans out of fear and racial hysteria. There were 10 in all, including Camp Amache in desolate southeastern Colorado. (Note: There’s been a gradual move towards the use of the term “concentration camps” because that’s the term the U.S. government used for them when they weren’t using euphemisms like “assembly center” or “relocation center.”)
For many older Japanese Americans, the first thing they ask of each other when they meet other JAs is, “what camp was your family in?” and they’re not talking about summer camp. For the rest of America though, there still isn’t much taught about the Japanese American internment experience in schools — a couple of paragraphs out of dozens of pages about World War II in history textbooks is about it. For those paying attention there are lots of documentaries and a few feature movies (“Snow Falling on Cedars” is probably the best known), as well as plenty of non-fiction books about internment, and a couple of mainstream novels (uh, “Snow Falling on Cedars” is probably the best known).
But now the University of California in San Diego is developing a very modern interactive way to teach people about internment. They’re creating an online, 3D role-playing game so you can experience a little bit of the choices you would have had to make, and the life you would have lived, in Rohwer or the other Arkansas camp, Jerome. The game, called “ Drama in the Delta ,” is available in a downloadable prototype (Windows only), and you’ll eventually be able to play the game online.
The user takes on the role of “Jane,” a young girl whose family is sent to camp, and you have to wander amongst the tar-paper barracks and, like in many role-playing games, pick up props and clues.
It may seem a little creepy, and it might bother or bewilder older JAs who lived through internment (Erin’s folks, for instance). But if the game helps a new generation of Americans to feel even a little empathy for what Japanese Americans went through 69 years ago, I’d say this is a very cool project.
