The Train to Crystal City is a historical account of a secret internment camp in Texas during World War II, where thousands of familiesmany of them U.S. citizenswere detained as part of a prisoner exchange program authorized by President Roosevelt.
From 1942 to 1948, trains transported Japanese, German, and Italian immigrants, along with their American-born children, to Crystal City, Texas. This camp became the center of a government initiative known as "quiet passage," where detainees were exchanged for American prisoners held overseas. The book provides a deeply researched narrative, focusing on the experiences of two American-born teenage girls who were interned, their families' struggles, and their eventual return to the United States.
