Description
Teragawa begins the interview speaking about his family background and early childhood, where he moved to Japan at the age of four with his brother to get a Japanese education. Next, he speaks about moving back to the United States to work at his uncle's grocery store in Los Angeles. As the grocery store started to become steadier, the attacks on Pearl Harbor occurred, which led to a curfew, and eventually forcing the family to sell the store and all their belongings and head to Santa Anita race tracks for temporary detainment.
