Description
Full title:Since May, 1944, Mrs. Kimiko Nishimura, an Issei from the central Utah Relocation Center, has been employed as a clerk in the record room of the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, where nearly 30 other evacuees are also employed in various capacities. Mrs. Nishimura is the wife of the Rev. Masamoto Nishimura, who for seventeen years prior to evacuation was the minister of the Free Methodist Church in Berkeley, Cal. While at Central Utah, Rev. Nishimura was associated with the Federated Japanese Churches, and Mrs. Nishimura was a translator in the administrative office. Rev. Nishimura recently visited a number of the relocation centers and is active in church work among New York City evacuees. They have four children--Rhoda, 18, who is a pre-medical student at Vassar College; Dwight, 16; Jonathan, 13; and Joseph, 11. The three younger children attend school in New York City.
