Japanese Americans


Resolution Adopted by the CCAR

JAPANESE-AMERICANS

Digests of resolutions adopted by the

Central Conference of American Rabbis

between 1889 and 1974

1. See Minority Rights ( 1935, p. 82).

2. We plead for justice to the Japanese-Americans, many of whom have

distinguished

themselves on the field of battle. We deplore their uprooting and the

agitation against

their return in the western states. (1944, p. 96)

3. While we deplore the violence greeting Americans of Japanese ancestry

returning

to the Pacific coast, we applaud the action of the Los Angeles Post of the

American

Legion which passed resolutions urging their comrades to protect the full

rights

of Japanese. (1945, p.125)
