[00:02.04] | Fort Minor |
[00:04.00] | Kenji |
[00:05.72] | |
[00:06.88] | My father came from Japan in 1905 |
[00:10.44] | He was 15 when he immigrated from Japan |
[00:13.92] | He, he... he worked until he was able to buy this patch |
[00:17.11] | And build a store |
[00:17.97] | |
[00:18.20] | Let me tell you the story in the form of a dream, |
[00:20.14] | I don't know why I have to tell it but I know what it means, |
[00:22.67] | Close your eyes, just picture the scene, |
[00:24.28] | As I paint it for you, it was World War II, |
[00:26.50] | When this man named Kenji woke up, |
[00:28.55] | Ken was not a soldier, |
[00:29.74] | He was just a man with a family who owned a store in LA, |
[00:33.50] | That day, he crawled out of bed like he always did, |
[00:36.34] | Bacon and eggs with wife and kids, |
[00:38.28] | He lived on the second floor of a little store he ran, |
[00:40.99] | He moved to LA from Japan, |
[00:42.79] | They called him 'Immigrant,' |
[00:43.85] | In Japanese, he'd say he was called "Esay," |
[00:46.66] | That meant 'First Generation In The United States,' |
[00:49.64] | When everyone was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the Japs, |
[00:53.03] | But most of all afraid of a homeland attack, |
[00:54.94] | And that morning when Ken went out on the doormat, |
[00:57.57] | His world went black 'cause, |
[00:59.03] | Right there; front page news, |
[01:00.86] | Three weeks before 1942, |
[01:02.92] | "Pearl Harbour's Been Bombed And The Japs Are Comin'," |
[01:05.72] | Pictures of soldiers dyin' and runnin', |
[01:07.48] | Ken knew what it would lead to, |
[01:09.32] | Just like he guessed, the President said, |
[01:11.24] | "The evil Japanese in our home country will be locked away," |
[01:14.77] | They gave Ken, a couple of days, |
[01:17.08] | To get his whole life packed in two bags, |
[01:19.39] | Just two bags, couldn't even pack his clothes, |
[01:21.86] | Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to pack anything in, |
[01:25.23] | So two trash bags was all they gave them, |
[01:27.69] | When the kids asked mum "Where are we goin'?" |
[01:30.01] | Nobody even knew what to say to them, |
[01:32.14] | Ken didn't wanna lie, he said "The US is lookin' for spies, |
[01:35.28] | So we have to live in a place called Mandinar, |
[01:38.07] | Where a lot of Japanese people are," |
[01:40.14] | Stop it don't look at the gunmen, |
[01:41.69] | You don't wanna get the soldiers wonderin', |
[01:44.10] | If you gonna run or not, |
[01:45.60] | 'Cause if you run then you might get shot, |
[01:47.69] | Other than that try not to think about it, |
[01:50.05] | Try not to worry 'bout it; bein' so crowded, |
[01:52.17] | Someday we'll get out, someday, someday. |
[01:56.64] | |
[01:57.28] | As soon as war broke out |
[01:57.86] | The G.I came and they just come to the house and |
[02:01.02] | "You have to come" |
[02:03.42] | "All the Japanese have to go" |
[02:04.70] | They took Mr. Lee |
[02:06.62] | People didn't understand |
[02:08.05] | Why did they have to take him? |
[02:09.86] | Because he's an innocent (neighbour/labourer?) |
[02:12.13] | |
[02:12.40] | So now they're in a town with soldiers surroundin' them, |
[02:14.51] | Every day, every night look down at them, |
[02:16.93] | From watch towers up on the wall, |
[02:18.95] | Ken couldn't really hate them at all; |
[02:20.84] | They were just doin' their job and, |
[02:22.54] | He wasn't gonna make any problems, |
[02:24.81] | He had a little garden with vegetables and fruits that, |
[02:27.97] | He gave to the troops in a basket his wife made, |
[02:30.52] | But in the back of his mind, he wanted his families life saved, |
[02:33.41] | Prisoners of war in their own damn country, |
[02:36.18] | What for? |
[02:36.84] | Time passed in the prison town, |
[02:38.64] | He wanted them to live it down when they were free, |
[02:41.18] | The only way out was joinin' the army, |
[02:43.36] | And supposedly, some men went out for the army, signed on, |
[02:46.98] | And ended up flyin' to Japan with a bomb, |
[02:49.24] | That 15 kilotonne blast, put an end to the war pretty fast, |
[02:53.71] | Two cities were blown to bits; the end of the war came quick, |
[02:56.98] | Ken got out, big hopes of a normal life, with his kids and his wife, |
[03:01.62] | But, when they got back to their home, |
[03:03.11] | What they saw made them feel so alone, |
[03:05.52] | These people had trashed every room, |
[03:07.61] | Smashed in the windows and bashed in the doors, |
[03:09.76] | Written on the walls and the floor, |
[03:11.51] | "Japs not welcome anymore." |
[03:13.29] | And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and just stood outside, |
[03:17.43] | He, looked at his wife without words to say, |
[03:19.49] | She looked back at him wiped the tears away, |
[03:21.83] | And, said "Someday we'll be okay, someday," |
[03:24.77] | Now the names have been changed, but the story's true, |
[03:27.66] | My family was locked up back in '42, |
[03:29.87] | My family was there it was dark and damp, |
[03:32.56] | And they called it an internment camp |
[03:34.26] | |
[03:34.76] | When we first got back from camp... uhh |
[03:37.03] | It was... pretty... pretty bad |
[03:39.03] | |
[03:39.37] | I, I remember my husband said |
[03:42.29] | "Are we gonna stay 'til last?" |
[03:43.93] | Then my husband died before they close the camp. |
