於大蕭條期間拍攝人相後，蘭格將她的鏡頭轉向另一主題。1941年12月，美國正式加入第二次世界大戰。1942年時，羅斯福總統 (Franklin Roosevelt) 簽署了一份設立戰時強制疏散機構的行政命令，其規定大戰結束前， 當美國正與日本對戰中，所有的日裔美人都要住在營區內。桃樂絲蘭格受邀前去拍攝營區內受拘留或幽禁的居民。您能想像住在這些營區內的生活嗎？


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?
