Description
An account of the resource
Yenokida begins his trial in Denver, submitting paperwork showing that Japanese Americans were not being given their Constitutional Rights, however, the judge did not agree and he was sentenced to Tuscon Federal Work Camp for 1 year. He and the other Japanese Americans were handcuffed and leg shackled and sent down to Tuscon, which left a shameful imprint on Yenokida's mind for the rest of his life. While there, his two brothers also were sentenced to the same work camp and they continued on doing their work for a year and decided to head back to Ameche to see their mother. However, upon arrival, they found they were not allowed back and instead had to sneak into the camps late at night. After nearly being caught one night, they headed back to Denver to start working but were taken advantage of by others that had been living in the work camps with them.

Fujimoto continues his recollection of Pearl Harbor and the aftermath of the attacks, including curfews and getting rid of all illegal contraband. Shortly after, they would get notification of Executive Order 9066, which would force them to be moved to an American concentration camp in Arizona. He and his family would be transported there with only the personal belongings they could carry. Once arrived at Poston concentration camp, he would see the poor living conditions including dusty barracks, no privacy and creatures all over the place. He talks about the recreational activities they had there as well, and the loyalty questions that were given to all men. He would end up being drafted into the Army and would be inducted at Fort Sheridan, followed by basic training at Camp Maxey. However, during this time, Victory over Europe occurred and he would be moved to Fort Snelling to begin Military Intelligence Service. While there, Japan surrendered and the war ended. Unfortunately, he was called back home with urgency as his mother was sick and would pass away shortly after. He would be discharged from the Army, so he could take care of his little sisters.

Description
An account of the resource
In the relocation center, James Murata worked as an ambulance driver. For entertainment, there were plays and sports. The Assembly Center was a racetrack and some internees lived in horse stalls. James described how he made most of the situation. He had the mindset of Shikata ga nai.
After the Assembly Center, James went to Tulare, Arizona. The camp was unfinished, and there were tranches. Moreover, at the far end of the camp, barracks were uncompleted. James lived in a barrack and described the living conditions and food.
At Tulare, James worked in the hospital as an orderly. His tasks ranged from carrying the deceased to the morgue, helping the nurses with physical duties, and whatever else needs to be done. Later, the camp had a camouflage project and James worked on that. Reflecting on camp life, James said it was somewhat like a vacation. He could do anything, spent time with friends, and there were dances on the weekends.
James recalls volunteers leaving camp for the Army. He said it was sad to see the volunteers leave because they were leaving behind family and loved ones. When news about the 100th and 442nd accomplishments in Cassino was in the newspaper, James was in Des Moines, ID, and he felt proud of the Niseis. James worked at Broadlawns General Hospital in Des Moines. Later James received a draft notice.
He went to several weeks of basic training before going to Camp Blanding. During basic training, the most significant thing James learned was endurance from marching. After completing basic training, James went to Minnesota by train. When James arrived at language school, there were about 1,000 men. There were different classes and duties to keep him busy. Although James went to Japanese Language School when he was younger, he had to train himself now to read, write, and speak Japanese. There was a test every weekend.

Description
An account of the resource
Tommy Mayekawa and his family evacuate to Santa Anita Assembly Center after receiving the evacuation orders. He describes the living conditions and life in the camp. Tommy and his family live in a horse stable, and his parents accepted the situation with the attitude of shikata ga nai.
Tommy and his family are at Santa Anita for a few months before going to Rohwer Relocation Center. At Rohwer, there are armed guards in guard towers. Tommy tries to try to occupy his time in camp with work. He finds a job driving a truck and chopping wood.
In March 1944, Tommy leaves Rohwer for employment opportunities in Detroit, MI. Shortly after, Tommy receives his draft notice and reports to Fort Sheridan. Tommy discusses the irony of being an American citizen going to camp and now being drafted into service.
At Camp Blanding, Tommy is part of a segregated unit. Many guys from his Company go overseas to Europe, but Tommy goes to language school at Fort Snelling. Tommy's training is short because the war has ended, and they are needed overseas.
In August 1945, he travels to the Philippine Islands and works at a POW camp. Later, Tommy goes to Japan for occupation. He is stationed in downtown Yokohama and is attached to the Third Military Railway Service Headquarters. His assignment is to be an interpreter with the local rail operators.

Nobuo "Nob" Yamashita is born September 28, 1920, in Los Angeles, CA. Nob and his family worked on the farm before starting a fresh produce business in Bell.
In 1938, Nob graduates high school. When his younger brother Ace graduates high school a few years later, Ace gives Nob a chance for higher education. However, the war starts.

Description
An account of the resource
Oye continues his recollection of joining the Army by taking his brothers draft spot and reporting to Camp Robinson. He would first begin his training there before being sent to Camp Crowder to begin training with the Quartermaster Corps, and not being around many Nisei soldiers. Next, he talks about Executive Order 9066 and his parents being sent to the Puyallup assembly center and then Minidoka concentration camp in Idaho. He would be reassigned to training at Camp Carson, then Camp Hale to do office work before finally landing at Camp Shelby in Mississippi. There, he found out about the 442nd Regiment being formed and would become a squad leader. He talks about the maneuvers and Earl Finch, and what it was like to be in the South during that time. After this, he would be sent to Newport News to be shipped out to Europe.

Description
An account of the resource
On December 7, Yoshio Izumi is on his weekend leave and hears about Pearl Harbor on the radio at home. Yoshio was born and raised in the United States, and he feels he would be loyal to his homeland. He feels he is one hundred percent American.
On February 19, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 and Yoshio's family goes to Manzanar. All the Japanese American soldiers in the outfit are taken out and placed in a segregated unit. Yoshio recalls orders to dig trenches for other Military Personnel. Later the outfit is sent to serval places in the Midwest. Yoshio goes to Fort Custer, Michigan. Other Japanese American soldiers go to Camp Sheridan.
During Yoshio's service, he is transferred to many places, and it is difficult for his family to keep track and correspond. When possible, Yoshio visits his family a few times in Manzanar. He describes the camp and the living conditions of his family.
At Fort Custer, Yoshio is assigned to the Military Police (MP) and later works at the hospital as an orderly. Later, Yoshio received orders to go to Camp Savage. At Camp Savage, he is assigned to Headquarters Company doing clerical work. Besides clerical work, Yoshio recalls being tasked with coal-burning in the evening time.

Kodama discusses the feeling he had that Japanese Americans were limited in their activities during his childhood, including dances and sports. He had hopes of attending UC Berkeley and was originally accepted but was later rejected and would end up gardening instead. He talks about his knowledge of the wars overseas, and hearing that the USA and Japan would fight one another eventually. Next, he talks about being at a basketball tournament in San Jose, when he first heard of the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Soon after, they would get an evacuation notice and have to sell off their belongings or give them away. They would be sent to Santa Anita race track for temporary detention, saying "shikata ga nai" to their situation.

Description
An account of the resource
Sachio Takata was born on March 14, 1923, in Southern California. Sachio's father, Kizo, was from Kagoshima, Japan, and immigrated to the United States. He met Sachio’s mother, Hatsumi, from Hawaii, and they married. Sachio is the oldest of ten siblings.
Half of Sachio's youth was in Southern California and then in Northern California. Sachio enjoyed school. He attended primary school and Japanese Language School. After class, he would go home and help on the farm. Sachio describes harvesting different crops on 70 acres. Sachio grew up during the Great Depression. Although he had many interests, Sachio had to save every penny to buy model airplanes, a photography camera, and parts for the crystal radio set. The nearest town was Stockton, and Sachio watched cowboy movies often.
On December 7, Sachio was working on the farm, when he heard about Pearl Harbor. The following day, Sachio heard President Roosevelt declare war. Shortly after there were travel restrictions and a curfew enforced. Sachio recalls having the mentality of shikata ga nai and not trying to fight city hall. In camp, he did not participate in strikes.
On February 19, 1946, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, and Japanese Americans had to be evacuated from the western area. Sachio and his family evacuated to the assembly center and took what they could carry. At Turlock, Sachio spent most of his time working at the mess hall as a pantry clerk.

Description
An account of the resource
Tanaktsubo continues his discussion on moving from the main basic training camp to a segregated unit made up of all Japanese American soldiers. The team is moved to Fort Lewis then Camp Crowder, and finally to Camp Savage, doing menial military work all the while. At this time morale was low for these men as they were not trusted and were even denied furloughs to California to visit their family. Once at Camp Savage, Tanakatsubo was forced to begin Japanese language courses for the Military Intelligence Service (MIS), where he would train to become an interrogator for the war. He and his team were then moved to the Aleutian Islands in Alaska where they would begin their assignments, looking for documents to help the US Army gain an edge in battle.

Tanakatsubo begins the interview talking about his family background and the origin of his name. Growing up in Sacramento, he was exposed to a very diverse population and made for a pretty happy childhood and schooling, including a well-known glee club. After high school, Tanakatsubo began work as a civil servant for the state and foresaw a long career there, but decided to join the Army in October of 1941.

Description
An account of the resource
George Matsui discusses his reaction to December 7 and the aftermath. His feeling was shikata ga nai. George evacuated to Santa Anita and Tule Lake.
At Tule Lake, George remembered the barbed wires around the parameter, barracks, and guards in the guard towers. George was at Tule Lake for a few months before reporting to Camp Savage for Military Intelligence Service Language School. George learned interrogation, translation, and interpretation in Japanese.
During the Pacific Theater, one of his worst memory for him was seeing dead bodies. George recalls trying to save Japanese civilians and soldiers. For his accomplishments in Saipan, George was awarded the Bronze Star. He could not talk about his war experience previously because of the effects it had on him.
After George's service in Saipan, he went to Honolulu for a rest period. He spent his time attending USO events and corresponding with his wife. George shared a story of how he sent a proposal letter and engagement ring to her. He also mentioned learning about the passing of Frank Hachiya.
Besides Saipan, George went to Marshall Island. Marshall Island was George's first operation with the 7th Division. For his accomplishment in deciphering the hydrographic map, George received a letter of accommodation.
When George learned the war had ended, he was happy. George felt he was lucky to serve in two campaigns in the Pacific Theater. He credited the men who served in China, Burma, and India for doing a great job.

An account of the resource
Kazuo Yamaguchi describes the difference between the attitudes of East Coasters and West Coasters in regards to the term "shikata ga nai." He talks about the way he grew up influenced by the Asian American stereotype in school -- good student, disciplined, etc. After the Pearl Harbor attack, the FBI searched his house, but his best friend's father stationed patrolmen in front of his farm so they would not be harassed. The staff at his school also showed positive reinforcement, keeping a close eye on him and his siblings. He describes his father's political awareness of the tensions between the United States and Japan, before the Pearl Harbor attack. He also talks about how he was rejected from joining the United States Navy.
