Description
An account of the resource
Yoshio Izumi goes to Japanese language school first before starting English school. When his family moves from Malibu to Santa Monica, Yoshio attends Santa Monica School. The makeup of the school is primarily Caucasians students and half a dozen Hispanic students. Yoshio does not experience discrimination. In high school, Yoshio is friends with everyone. He played sports such as track and field, baseball, basketball, and football.
During the Great Depression, Yoshio does the grocery shopping for the family since he is one of the oldest of the brothers. Growing up, Yoshio has many responsibilities. He knows a few other kids in similar situations like him but is more concerned about his affairs.
When Yoshio has free time, he enjoys watching movies. He remembers trying to watch samurai movies with his friends. In high school, Yoshio likes watching high school football games. Once in a while, Yoshio goes to amusement parks with his friends. He recalls traveling to San Francisco for the World Fair and a football game in high school.
In the winter of 1938, Yoshio graduates high school at 19 years old. Then he briefly attends junior college because he has to help with the flower business. Yoshio feels he will continue the family business but hears the news about a draft in the Army.

Description
An account of the resource
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.
On December 7, Nob hears the news about Pearl Harbor. Nob says the community of Bell treated his family well. They did not experience any discrimination. In May 1942, Nob and his family go to Manzanar.
At Manzanar, Nob works and plays baseball to pass the time. Later he leaves Manzanar briefly to work on a sugar beet farm in Montana. When he returns to Manzanar, he takes a Military Intelligence Service (MIS) exam and passes.
Nob and ten others from Manzanar go to Camp Savage for six months of training. Nob training focuses on conversational Japanese, Japanese military terms, and kanji. After training, Nob goes overseas to New Guinea.
Nob discusses discrimination in the military and the lack of promotions with Japanese Americans. He recalls Ensign Sherman, an advocate for the MIS. Moreover, Nob describes his experiences with Prisoners of War (POWs) in New Guinea and Luzon, and the Philippines.

Description
An account of the resource
Dan Uchimoto explains the meaning of his last name "Uchimoto" in Japanese. In Japan, "Uchimoto" means original home. "Uchi" means a kind of home, "Moto" means original home or basic home. Besides farming, Dan's parents have two additional businesses. A goldfish business, and a single gas pump station.
At an early age, Dan has many responsibilities beyond his years. He works in the family business and cares for his siblings. Life is a struggle, but Dan is grateful for the learning opportunities.
After the Pearl Harbor attack, the FBI takes away Dan's father to a detention center. Then evacuation orders are announced. Dan leaves the University of California, Berkeley, during his sophomore year and goes to camp with his mother. Dan and his mother go to Turlock and then Gila River. Dan's brother goes to Swarthmore College and his sister, Amy attends Boston University for a year.
Dan leaves camp to continue his education. He attends Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. He describes his college and Berkeley years and working part-time.
