Description
A newspaper clipping. It reports that 400 Japanese American incarcerees were hired from other camps to harvest crops in the Tule Lake camp while the incarcerees in the Tule Lake went on strike. It portraits the Tule Lake incarcerees as "disloyal Japs."
The Hiroshi Fukuwa Manzanar Diary consists of a diary written by Hiroshi Ted Fukuwa, Kibei Nisei of Los Angeles, California, along with newsletters, clippings, and handwritten notes created/collected during his incarceration. His diary details his experiences during World War II, starting from the day when he left Los Angeles for the Manzanar incarceration camp in California and including his transfer to the Gila River camp in Arizona and segregation in the Tule Lake camp in California. The diary describes trips to the camps, construction of facilities, living conditions, work and salaries, events, incidents and accidents, reflecting a Kibei perspective. All materials in this collection are born-analog objects (digitized materials) only; the physical carriers (physical materials) remain with the donor.
