兰格与再安置营 (Relocation Camp)

于大萧条期间拍摄人相后,兰格将她的镜头转向另一主题。194112月,美国正式添加第二次世界大战。1942年时,罗斯福总统 (Franklin Roosevelt) 签署了一份设立战时强制疏散机构的行政命令,其规定大战退出前, 当美国正与日本对战中,所有的日裔美人都要住在营区内。桃乐丝兰格受邀前去拍摄营区内受拘留或幽禁的居民。您能想像住在这些营区内的生活吗?


After taking photos of people during the Depression, Lange turned her lens on another subject. The United States entered World War II in December 1941. In 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed an Executive Order to create the War Relocation Authority, which forced Japanese Americans to live in camps while America was at war with Japan. Dorothea Lange was invited to photograph the camps, whose residents were "interned," or confined. Can you imagine what it must have been like to live in one of those camps?
