GAIC is dedicated to making public the little known United States World War II policies that led to internment, repatriation and exchange of civilians of German ethnicity, both in the United States and Latin America.

We will educate the general public about the U.S. government's detention and internment of over 11,000 German American and Latin American citizens and residents during World War II.

We will reach out to former internees, their families and supporters. We will gather their stories, share information and support their efforts to make their stories known.

We will seek full U.S. government review and acknowledgment of the civil rights violations endured by the German American and Latin American communities.

We will work collaboratively with other internee groups who have similar purposes.

As we work toward these goals, we also hope that our efforts result in better protection of the civil liberties of future vulnerable ethnic groups.
