Thank you for sharing - I just wrote a play about the Imprisonment of Japanese Americans - there are so many different stories here, so many individual people imprisoned and affected - these stories have been untold for too long. Thanks again

I would like to visit JCCH in Honolulu someday. I have written about the education of Japanese American students during WWII, focusing on The National Japanese American Student Relocation Council for my master's degree.

Japanese were targets enemy even if attacked at behest like Italy or Germany until Semitic camps copied placated Allies, Americans albeit double smart used their linguistics during & later on turning around Japan?!

When the attack on Pearl Harbor took place, a Japanese pilot crash landed. When he found a Japanese American and asked for help, he actually did help hide the pilot, and continued to hide him even after he murdered a civilian. This event- completely absent from this PBS version of things. weighed heavily on the US government decision to intern Japanese Americans.

Interesting! Is this the same incident? www.sfgate.com/hawaii/article/Niihau-incident-during-pearl-harbor-17105787.php
@paulbriggs3072Ай бұрын
@@jcchawaii Yes. Upon reading it, I remembered the downed pilot ATTEMPTED to murder the civilian but was himself killed in self defense. Also I notice that not one but THRE separate Japanese Americans attempted to help the pilot and all three hid the Pearl Harbor attack news from the other Hawaiians when they first learned of it. No wonder the authorities were bent on setting up camps to isolate them.

You do realize that these were Japanese Americans, not soldiers from Japan? I was born and raised in Hawaiʻi and had both neighbors and a couple of our family doctors who were interned. They did absolutely nothing but be loyal Americans. Their sons served along side my dad, who was Portuguese American, in WWII.

Unlike some other minorities, we American Japanese don't blame racism, politics or government. Nor have we ever demanded "equality", affirmative action or reparations. If we FAIL, we blame OURSELVES and keep on truckin'. You want to get out of an internment camp? Join the ARMY! Fight the damn NAZI'S! After the war, get a FREE college education on the GI BILL! That's what a LOT of us did, and boy did it make a difference! All by the grace of GOD.

Having grown up with relatives in Portuguese plantation camps on Kauai, this was so lovely to discover. My grandparents eventually built a home of their own on plantation subsidized land in Eleele. It was a community mainly inhabited by Japanese. I went to Japanese school at the Hanapepe Hongwanji and have raised my own children submersed in Japanese island culture. A lifetime of cultural gifts. Mahalo.

What came from this? 442nd Regimental Combat Team! "Go for Broke"! The motivation and desire of these Japanese children to demonstrate their loyalty and patriotism to those who kept their parents and siblings in internment camps is why they were feared by the Nazis while revered by the allies! The most decorated in U.S. history! The most Medal of Honor recipients in History! Approximately 800 Japanese casualties to rescue around 200 trapped Americans during the "Lost Battalion"! What Valor! What Honor! No WWII era 442nd soldier should ever pay for their drink at the bar, be homeless, pay for his meal, pay for hospice, die alone, buried without witnesses, name forgotten! Greatest generation. Kanpai Heros! Kanpai!

Now I know why I love both of your art! Speaking out about mental health through your creative medium is such a great way to be approachable and accessible to people who may find direct means of talking about mental health intimidating (I’m talking about myself LOL). I’ve always loved your art and the stories you tell!! 😊✌🏻
