JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT: A TRAGEDY OF WAR A Reflexive Essay Presented To The Academic Faculty Amber Martinez In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies Kennesaw State University (May, 2014) 1 Japanese American internment in the United States during World War II affected thousands of lives for generations yet it remains hidden in historical memory. There have been surges of public interest since the release of the internees, such as during the Civil Rights movement and the campaign for redress, which led to renewed interest in scholarship investigating the internment. Once redress was achieved in 1988, public interest waned again as did published analysis of the internment. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, American pride and displays of homeland loyalty created a unique event in American history.

  • Kip Tokuda Civil Liberties Program
    Kip Tokuda Civil Liberties Program 1. Purpose: The Kip Tokuda competitive grant program supports the intent of RCW 28A.300.405 to do one or both of the following: 1) educate the public regarding the history and lessons of the World War II exclusion, removal, and detention of persons of Japanese ancestry through the development, coordination, and distribution of new educational materials and the development of curriculum materials to complement and augment resources currently available on this subject matter; and 2) develop videos, plays, presentations, speaker bureaus, and exhibitions for presentation to elementary schools, secondary schools, community colleges, and other interested parties. 2. Description of services provided: Grants were provided to the following individuals and organizations: Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community (BIJAC): BIJAC offered workshops featuring four oral history documentary films of the Japanese American WWII experience and accompanying curricula aligning with OSPI-developed Assessments for use in distance-learning lessons during the COVID- 19 pandemic, and developed online interactive activities to use with the oral history films in online workshops. Erin Shigaki: In the first phase of the grant Erin used the funds to revise the design of three wall murals about the Japanese American exclusion and detention located in what was the historic Japantown or Nihonmachi in Seattle, WA. The first and second locations are in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District in “Nihonmachi Alley” and the third location is the side of the Densho building located on Jackson Street. Erin spent time working with a fabricator regarding material options and installation. Densho (JALP): From January to June, the content staff completed articles on a range of confinement sites administered by the War Relocation Authority (WRA), the Wartime Civil Control Administration (WCCA), the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), and the U.S.

  • Over 55 Years Ago, the United States Entered World War II. to Most Americans, Now, It’S Something That Happened “Over There” and Is Far Removed from Home
    by Mike Prero Over 55 years ago, the United States entered World War II. To most Americans, now, it’s something that happened “over there” and is far removed from home. We frequently read books and see movies about our soldiers in Japanese or German prisoner-of-war camps, but few members of the younger generation realize that between 1942 and 1946, the United States held almost 400,000 German, more than 50,000 Italian, and 5,000 Japanese soldiers in P.O.W. camps right here in the United States. I’ve been a Military collector ever since I entered the hobby, but my interest was really drawn to P.O.W. camps during a game of bridge a number of years ago. Our opponents, an elderly couple, had actually met and fallen in love in a Japanese P.O.W. camp in the Philippines. Fascinating! And so are P.O.W. camp covers. There were over 500 such P.O.W. camps in America during the war. One of them was right down the road from here, in Stockton, CA. Not surprisingly, most were located in the western and central states that had wide-open spaces: California, Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming, etc. Although, there were a few in places like Maryland, Wisconsin, and Michigan. As with most World War II U.S. installations, there are a variety of covers from these P.O.W. camps, although they are definitely scarce compared to the number of camps that existed. I currently have 6,842 U.S. Military covers, but Major P.O.W.

  • Ozaki, Otokichi, 1904 - 1983 Papers, 1927 - 1988 Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii (JCCH) Resource Center Archival Collection 1 (AR 1) 7 Linear Feet
    Ozaki, Otokichi, 1904 - 1983 Papers, 1927 - 1988 Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii (JCCH) Resource Center Archival Collection 1 (AR 1) 7 linear feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract: The Ozaki papers cover the internment experience of the Otokichi Ozaki family of Hilo, Hawaii, during World War II, as well as post-war reflections on internment and Mr. Ozaki’s interests in other areas such as the movies, song lyrics, and poetry. Included in the collection are personal correspondence, lists of various internment camp internees, internment camp newspaper issues, poetry, song lyrics, radio scripts, reflection notes, news articles, as well as some internment photos and sketches. One of the strengths of the collection is the more than 350 tanka poems written by Mr. Ozaki during internment; they contribute an insider’s perspective during a key period in American history. Another is the set of Mrs. Ozaki’s letters received throughout the time the couple was separated (1941-1944). Yet another is the radio script series (beginning in 1950) which seems to be based on diaries Mr. Ozaki may have kept. The majority of items are in Japanese; many are in fragile condition. A number of papers have been translated into English. Restrictions: There are no access restrictions on the materials, and the collection is open to all members of the public in accordance with state law. However, the researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel, privacy, and copyright which may be involved in the use of this collection. Biography: Otokichi Ozaki was born in Ikegawa-cho, Kochi-ken, Japan on November 1, 1904, and came to the island of Hawaii at the age of 12 to join his parents.

  • Then They Came for Me Incarceration of Japanese Americans During WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties ALPHAWOOD GALLERY, CHICAGO JUNE 29 to NOVEMBER 19, 2017
    Then They Came for Me Incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties ALPHAWOOD GALLERY, CHICAGO JUNE 29 TO NOVEMBER 19, 2017 ALPHAWOOD FOUNDATION STATEMENT Alphawood Foundation is the proud sponsor of the exhibition Then They Came for Me: Incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties. Why did we feel it was important to share this story with the Chicago community? Alphawood exists to help create a more equitable, just and humane society for all of us. A difficult but essential part of that mission is to shine a light on great injustice, great inhumanity and great failure to live up to the core principles underlying our society. Then They Came for Me presents the shameful story of the United States government’s imprisonment of 120,000 people, most of them American citizens, solely based on their ethnic background. Think about that. Then think about what is occurring in our country right now, and what might be just around the corner. George Santayana wrote “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The Japanese American incarceration represents a moment when we collectively turned our backs on the great promise and responsibility of our Constitution. We denied equal protection under the law to our fellow Americans and legal residents because of their ancestry alone. We tell this story because we love our country. We care deeply about its past, present and future. We know that America is better than the racism and xenophobia that triggered the events depicted in this exhibition.

  • Notice on Yasui Brothers Store, Hood River by Yasui Family the Day After Japan Attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the U.S
    Notice on Yasui Brothers Store, Hood River By Yasui Family The day after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the U.S. Treasury Department shut down the Yasui Brothers’ Store in Hood River. Five days later, the FBI arrested Masuo Yasui, who had owned the store with his brother, Renichi Fujimoto, for more than thirty years. The United States government wrongly suspected Yasui of spying for Japan, probably because he had received a special award, a Paulownia Cup, from the Japanese government. Fujimoto posted this notice on the store in March 1942 when the government allowed him to reopen for a one-month clearance sale. The brothers were forced to sell their merchandise for less than it was worth. They closed the store permanently after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in February 1942, which allowed the U.S. Army to forcefully remove all Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans from the West Coast and imprison them in what were called internment camps. In Oregon, 3,714 Japanese were rounded up and sent to the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming, the Minidoka Relocation Center in Idaho, and the Tule Lake War Relocation Center in northern California. The government determined that Yasui was a “potentially dangerous” alien enemy. He was separated from his family and imprisoned in a series of military installations, including Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and Camp Livingston, Louisiana. He was not released until January 2, 1946, several months after the war ended. Yasui’s son Minoru spent time in solitary confinement during the war because he challenged a wartime curfew placed on Japanese Americans.

  • James Edward Robinson, Jr
    James Edward Robinson, Jr. SOLDIER DOSSIER James E. Robinson, Jr. James E. Robinson, T oledo, OH 07-10-1919 06-02-1939 “Then came the big day when we marched into Germany - right through the Siegfried Line.”, ca. 1945. Retrieved from the National Archives’ Records of the Office of war Information 1926 - 1951 Collection. 2 SOLDIER DOSSIER | THE NATIONAL WWII MUSEUM ABOUT THIS BOOK The following pages offer a brief biography of First Lieutenant James Edward Robinson, Jr. World War II Veteran and recipient of the Medal of Honor. The Institute for the Study of War and Democracy has reconstructed his story from his Military Personnel File, papers provided by his daughter Dolores, and various other sources cited in Sources at the end of this book. In 1973 a fire destroyed millions of military records at the National Archives and Records Administration in Saint Louis, Missouri. Most of those records have been lost forever; however, some of the records have undergone extensive reconstruction. They are not perfect, but they do provide a great amount of information. In the case of James Robinson his file of 240 pages was burned severely in the fire. It has been reconstructed and the file which remains has scorched marks, water stains, and partial pages. It is not perfect and thus telling the story of James Robinson has been difficult at times; however, what we do have of the file is very rewarding and provided valuable information. At 240 pages the Military Personnel File of Lieutenant Robinson, is a rich file and makes it possible to determine a lot of his activity from the time he joined the Texas National Guard until he was killed in action on April 6, 1945, in Germany.
