被审查的 FDR 日裔集中营照片
Censored Photographs of FDR’s Japanese Concentration Camps
2016 — 2019，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这个页面展示 Dorothea Lange 受美国政府委托拍摄的二战日裔美国人拘禁营照片，并讲述这些影像为何遭到审查、未能在当时公开发表。它把官方记录与被压下的画面并置，呈现罗斯福时期在战争恐惧下对日裔群体的强制迁移和拘禁。
为什么经久不衰：它让人看到国家如何在战争与恐惧中压制影像、侵犯公民自由；照片与审查机制并置，使这段历史至今仍有警示力。

DeWitt 以“没有破坏”反证“将有破坏”，逻辑荒谬，却成为拘禁的借口。
“迄今为止没有发生任何破坏活动，这一事实本身就令人不安，并确证此类行动将会发生。”——美国陆军西部防卫司令部司令 John L. DeWitt 将军。这种推理太疯狂了。

"The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken." — General John L. DeWitt, head of the U.S. Army’s Western Defense Command Insane reasoning.
批评西方在安全与战争名义下抛弃自身司法标准，所谓道德优越感只是神话；但肯定照片的价值。
这不过是西方极端道德模糊性的又一例。只要当权者觉得合适，或套上某个愚蠢条件（此处是“种族”，关塔那摩则是地理和公民身份），我们常会无视自己关于公平审判的标准。更不用说多年来与独裁者的“战略”联盟，通常都带来杀戮。想到我们道德优越感的神话从未是别的什么，令人悲哀。不过摄影很棒。

Just another example of the extreme moral ambiguity of the West. We regularly ignore our own standards around giving people a fair trial when it suits the executive of the day or when some stupid condition applies ("race" in this case, geography and citizenship for eg Guantanamo bay). Not to mention "strategic" alliances with dictators down the years that have usually proven to be murderous. It is sad to think that the myth of our moral superiority has never been anything else. Great photography, though.
战争会系统性摧毁经济自由和公民权利，并借爱国主义教育为下一次战争铺路。
这是反对战争的众多理由之一。其他还包括：经济控制、价格管制、配给和短缺；中止大部分（甚至全部？）《权利法案》；海外平民被大规模屠杀（“人人生而平等……拥有不可剥夺的权利”云云）；但最险恶的也许是“我们齐心协力牺牲击败敌人”的观念。公立学校教孩子国家努力的伟大，让他们准备好在下一次战争来临时再次接受自由被摧毁。国家永远利用战争胜利培养民族自豪和爱国主义，仿佛社会是自愿做出那些牺牲。反对战争？坐牢。不遵守经济管制？坐牢。被征召后不想打仗？处决。朋友恰好属于敌国？你是间谍。最后政府还通过通胀和货币贬值偷钱支付战争。

One of the many reasons to oppose war. Others include: + Control of the economy, price controls, rationing, shortages + Suspension of most (all?) of the Bill of Rights + Wholesale slaughter of civilian populations abroad (so much for "all men are created equal ... with unalienable rights") But perhaps the most nefarious is the idea that "we all pulled together and sacrificed to defeat the enemy." The government schools teach the children the greatness of our national effort, priming them to accept the destruction of liberty again when the next war comes. The state forever uses a victory in war to foster national pride and patriotism, as if the society made those choices to sacrifice willingly. Speak out against the war? Prison. Fail to comply with economic controls? Prison. Don't want to fight after being drafted? Execution. Have friends who just happen to belong to the enemy country? You're a spy. And then the icing on the cake is when the government steals the money to pay for the war through inflation and currency devaluation through the subsequent years.
与同期苏联的暴行相比，作者认为日裔拘禁营相对“人道”，但并未否认其不义。
这很骇人，对经历者显然非常糟糕；但作为在苏联出生的人，我不得不说，与同时期苏联的待遇相比，这出奇地人道（热水并非总有）。例子包括乌克兰大饥荒（以饥荒实施的种族灭绝），还有车臣人和克里米亚鞑靼人被驱逐等等。

This was appalling and obviously sucked a lot for people who underwent such treatment; however as someone born in USSR I'd say that it was surprisingly humane (hot water not always available) compared to how people were treated in the USSR around the same period. Case in point: Ukrainian Holodomor (genocide by famine) http://www.rferl.org/a/holodomor-ukraine/25174454.html Edit: also, Chechen and Krimean Tatar deportations, and many many others
