Abstrakt:	Nearly the whole of the Japanese American population of the United States was incarcerated by the federal government during World War II. Although the history of the internment is well documented, social work's involvement remains unexamined. This article traces the role of social workers in that history, showing how they facilitated all aspects of the process. The forgotten history traced here may prompt a reconsideration of how social work has made sense of its professional obligations and its professional ethics. The events may also induce the profession to examine how it now should conceptualize its role in facilitating problematic social policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
