An account of the resource
Yenokida discusses his time after his imprisonment, working in Denver, farming and shipping vegetables with his brother. Later, they would head back to Cortez to visit their mother and start their own farm, which ended up having over 3,000 acres of farmland, until President Carter decided to have an embargo on Russia, which ended up causing the farm to close. During that time, his brother would drive up to Tule Lake Concentration Camp to help those who did not have anywhere else to go and gave them jobs on the farm. Next, Yenokida discusses the redress and reparations that were given to each family and what it means to him. Finally, he speaks about the legacy of those that went to the camps, served in the war, or took a stand against the government.

Fujimoto begins the interview with the surrender of the Japanese Army and the end of the war. As he was already in the Philippines, they would begin the military occupation in Japan shortly after. He would get over to Tokyo by ship and begin his assignment as an interpreter.

Next, he looks through a photo album, talking about meeting General MacArthur's wife and son. Next, he would head back to Tokyo and begin a job working at the front desk of the Daichi hotel.

An account of the resource
Yamada begins the interview talking about his family and how they came to move from Hiroshima to Los Angeles. His father would work as a flower farmer while Kazuhiko and his siblings attended english and Japanese school. He would attend Gardena High School, where the population was nearly fifty percent Japanese before graduating and attending Compton Junior College. After this, he would head up the coast to attend UC Davis in the horticulture field. Next, he talks about his whereabouts during the attacks on Pearl Harbor. As he was already in the Army, he would be moved to a segregated unit at Fort Custer in Michigan and then to Camp Savage for Japanese language courses.

He would then be shipped out from San Francisco and begin his assignment in Australia.

Description
An account of the resource
Yamada discusses learning Japanese at a young age, taking Japanese language school, in addition to his regular schooling. He would also visit Japan with his family and see the farming community that his family came from. While back in the United States, he would read the Los Angeles Times and listen to the radio to strengthen his english. He would graduate from high school and attend junior college before being drafted and taking his basic training at Fort Ord. He was then moved to Fort Snelling in Minnesota to join the Military Intelligence Service (MIS). Next, he talks about his time in occupied Japan and his interactions with Japanese civilians, including a wealthy neighbor that owned a bookstore in Tokyo. He discusses other parts of the occupation including democracy, reform, and the influence of American culture. Next, he talks about his mother, who was stranded in Japan right before the start of the war and being able to see her again while in occupation. Yamada also talks about his wife, who was near the epicenter of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and how that affected her health. He then talks a little about what he saw when arriving in Japan and the influence of communism towards the end of his time there.

Description
An account of the resource
Miyahara begins the interview talking about his family background and how his mother and father came over from Kyushu, Japan and settled down as farmers in the Los Angeles area. Growing up in California, he was able to live a pretty full childhood, including attending Japanese language school, playing baseball and beginning his kendo training, which would end up being one of his passions in life. During his childhood, he also would go to a ranch that was owned by the Kelloggs and ride the ponies they had there. During high school, he would become more involved with kendo, and even took a trip to Japan for it. While there, he would experience Japan like a young man would, not noticing much of the differences between there and Los Angeles, but being able to travel all the way up to Manchuria and beyond.

Description
An account of the resource
Isamu Shimada begins the interview with his family background and what it was like to grow up in California. As his family was poor, he would grow up in a small house and would work for most of his childhood on the farms. It was there that he learned to plow and use heavy equipment such as tractors, which ended up being his career path after high school. A few months before the Pearl Harbor attacks, Shimada was drafted into the Army and he would begin his training. However, after the Pearl Harbor attacks, all Japanese American soldiers were forced to turn in their rifles and sent to Fort Snelling in Minnesota to await their assignments. While he was in Minnesota, his family would be relocated to Rohwer Concentration Camp in Arkansas.

Description
An account of the resource
Hirano begins the interview speaking of his family background, including his mother, father and siblings. At the young age of 4, he was moved to Japan to begin his schooling and would not return to the United States until the end of high school. After spending a short amount of time at Venice High School, he then began a short stint at City College of San Francisco. He briefly moved back to Japan to teach but moved back to the United States again to teach democracy. Shortly after that, Pearl Harbor was attacked and Executive Order 9066 was put into place, forcing Hirano to work on a farm in Montana. After the work in Montana completed, he headed to the American concentration camps in Topaz, Utah, where he would be recruited to join the Army.

Description
An account of the resource
Takashima begins the interview discussing his family background, including how they became farmers in Chula Vista, California. He talks about various parts of his childhood from the small home he grew up in to the celebrations and values that his family shared. He would also attend school in Chula Vista and attend the Buddhist temple when his parents had extra time. As his siblings were sent to Japan at a young age, he was able to go with his mother to visit them as well. After graduating from high school, Takashima would enter junior college before being drafted into the Army, shortly after Pearl Harbor. While he attended basic training at Camp Robinson, his parents were taken into custody by the FBI and others were taken to the American concentration camps at Poston, Arizona.

Description
An account of the resource
Yokote has an in depth discussion on his family's time in the American concentration camps. As he was angry about the way Japanese Americans were being treated, he at first refused to visit his family while at the Tule Lake concentration camp. His family would later be moved from Tule Lake to Amache concentration camp, which he felt was a better situation and was able to visit while on a leave. He talks about how Issei and Nisei were more stoic and didn't often show emotions or express how they felt, which may have hampered them during the war. After this, he talks about the values he was taught growing up and how those values would later help him when joining the Army.
