Norman Ikari oral history interview, part 3 of 7, June 26, 1999

Ikari discusses where his family ended up after Executive Order 9066 was signed, sent to a mixture of Rohwer, Poston and Manzanar Concentration Camps. While visiting on leave, he would see the barbed wire in certain sections of the camp and the living conditions. Next, he talks about his basic training, first training as a medic and then being transferred to Camp Shelby, losing his rank and starting back at private. He talks about being in the South, and the friction between the Hawaiian and mainland soldiers, seeing many fights and arguments until the Hawaiian soldiers were taken to an American concentration camp to see circumstances the mainlanders were dealing with.
