During World War II, roughly 600,000 Italians who had never taken American citizenship were required to carry identity cards that labeled them resident aliens . Some 10,000 people in war zones on the West Coast were required to move inland. After war with Italy was declared in December 1941, several hundred people deemed by the FBI to be supportive of Italy were held in detention camps for up to two years. Lawrence DiStasi says that these wartime restrictions and internments contributed more than anything else to the loss of spoken Italian in the United States. The government forced many Italian-language papers and schools to close because of their past support for what was then an enemy government. Please send us a note if you have any questions.
