Shortly after December 7, 1941, the Genda, Oshima and Shiroyama families were uprooted from their Terminal Island, California homes and interred at Manzanar. This book provides some details on the lives of these three families before, during and after their incarceration. It also examines the U.S. Governments conduct during the war, life on Terminal Island before the war, the evolution of Manzanar between 1942 and 1945, and the reporting of the Manzanar Free Press.
