SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) During World War II, the United States 
Government deemed as ‘‘enemy aliens’’ more than 
600,000 Italian-born and 300,000 German-born 
United States resident aliens and their families, re-
quiring them to carry Certificates of Identification 
and limiting their travel and personal property 
rights. At that time, these groups were the two larg-
est foreign-born groups in the United States. 
(2) During World War II, the United States 
Government arrested, interned, or otherwise de-
tained thousands of European Americans, some re-
maining in custody for years after cessation of 
World War II hostilities, and repatriated, exchanged, 
or deported European Americans, including Amer-
ican-born children, to European Axis nations, many 
to be exchanged for Americans held in those nations. 
(3) Pursuant to a policy coordinated by the 
United States with Latin American nations, thou-
sands of European Latin Americans, including Ger-
man and Austrian Jews, were arrested, relocated to 
the United States, and interned. Many were later re-
patriated or deported to European Axis nations dur-
ing World War II and exchanged for Americans and 
Latin Americans held in those nations.

(4) Millions of European Americans served in 
the armed forces and thousands sacrificed their lives 
in defense of the United States. 
(5) The wartime policies of the United States 
Government were devastating to the German Amer-
ican and Italian American communities, individuals, 
and their families. The detrimental effects are still 
being experienced. 
(6) Prior to and during World War II, the 
United States restricted the entry of Jewish refugees 
who were fleeing persecution or genocide and sought 
safety in the United States. During the 1930s and 
1940s, the quota system, immigration regulations, 
visa requirements, and the time required to process 
visa applications affected the number of Jewish refu-
gees, particularly those from Germany and Austria, 
who could gain admittance to the United States. 
(7) The United States Government should con-
duct an independent review to fully assess and ac-
knowledge these actions. Congress has previously re-
viewed the United States Government’s wartime 
treatment of Japanese Americans through the Com-
mission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of 
Civilians. An independent review of the treatment of 
German Americans and Italian Americans and of

Jewish refugees fleeing persecution and genocide has 
not yet been undertaken. 
(8) Time is of the essence for the establishment 
of commissions, because of the increasing danger of 
destruction and loss of relevant documents, the ad-
vanced age of potential witnesses and, most impor-
tantly, the advanced age of those affected by the 
United States Government’s policies. Many who suf-
fered have already passed away and will never know 
of this effort.
