The mess halls at Camp Harmony had no fresh fruits or vegetables that first week. Day after day, the internees were fed canned Vienna sausages and stewed tomatoes, and soon nearly everyone had diarrhea. People rushed to the latrines in the middle of the night but found they had to stand in long lines in the rain and the mud with machine guns trained on them and searchlights playing over the scene as they inched forward, each of them desperately hoping they could hold out long enough to make it into the building. It was deeply humiliating, and starkly dehumanizing.
