[00:07.599] | My father came from Japan in 1905 |
[00:10.439] | He was 15 when he immigrated from Japan |
[00:13.919] | He, he... he worked until he was able to buy this patch |
[00:17.109] | And build a store |
[00:17.970] | |
[00:18.199] | Let me tell you the story in the form of a dream, |
[00:20.139] | I don't know why I have to tell it but I know what it means, |
[00:22.669] | Close your eyes, just picture the scene, |
[00:24.279] | As I paint it for you, it was World War II, |
[00:26.499] | When this man named Kenji woke up, |
[00:28.549] | Ken was not a soldier, |
[00:29.739] | He was just a man with a family who owned a store in LA, |
[00:33.499] | That day, he crawled out of bed like he always did, |
[00:36.339] | Bacon and eggs with wife and kids, |
[00:38.279] | He lived on the second floor of a little store he ran, |
[00:40.989] | He moved to LA from Japan, |
[00:42.789] | They called him 'Immigrant,' |
[00:44.290] | In Japanese, he'd say he was called "Esay," |
[00:46.659] | That meant 'First Generation In The United States,' |
[00:49.639] | When everyone was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the Japs, |
[00:53.290] | But most of all afraid of a homeland attack, |
[00:54.939] | And that morning when Ken went out on the doormat, |
[00:57.569] | His world went black 'cause, |
[00:59.290] | Right there; front page news, |
[01:01.390] | Three weeks before 1942, |
[01:02.919] | "Pearl Harbour's Been Bombed And The Japs Are Comin'," |
[01:05.719] | Pictures of soldiers dyin' and runnin', |
[01:07.479] | Ken knew what it would lead to, |
[01:09.319] | Just like he guessed, the President said, |
[01:11.239] | "The evil Japanese in our home country will be locked away," |
[01:14.769] | They gave Ken, a couple of days, |
[01:17.789] | To get his whole life packed in two bags, |
[01:19.389] | Just two bags, couldn't even pack his clothes, |
[01:22.390] | Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to pack anything in, |
[01:25.229] | So two trash bags was all they gave them, |
[01:27.689] | When the kids asked mum "Where are we goin'?" |
[01:30.900] | Nobody even knew what to say to them, |
[01:32.139] | Ken didn't wanna lie, he said "The US is lookin' for spies, |
[01:35.279] | So we have to live in a place called Mandinar, |
[01:38.690] | Where a lot of Japanese people are," |
[01:40.139] | Stop it don't look at the gunmen, |
[01:41.689] | You don't wanna get the soldiers wonderin', |
[01:44.990] | If you gonna run or not, |
[01:45.598] | 'Cause if you run then you might get shot, |
[01:47.689] | Other than that try not to think about it, |
[01:50.490] | Try not to worry 'bout it; bein' so crowded, |
[01:52.169] | Someday we'll get out, someday, someday. |
[01:56.639] | |
[01:56.679] | As soon as war broke out |
[01:57.190] | The G.I came and they just come to the house and |
[01:59.819] | "You have to come" |
[02:01.619] | "All the Japanese have to go" |
[02:02.899] | They took Mr. Lee |
[02:04.818] | People didn't understand |
[02:06.249] | Why did they have to take him? |
[02:08.599] | Because he's an innocent (neighbour/labourer?) |
[02:10.329] | |
[02:10.599] | So now they're in a town with soldiers surroundin' them, |
[02:12.709] | Every day, every night look down at them, |
[02:15.129] | From watch towers up on the wall, |
[02:17.149] | Ken couldn't really hate them at all; |
[02:19.399] | They were just doin' their job and, |
[02:20.739] | He wasn't gonna make any problems, |
[02:23.990] | He had a little garden with vegetables and fruits that, |
[02:26.168] | He gave to the troops in a basket his wife made, |
[02:28.719] | But in the back of his mind, he wanted his families life saved, |
[02:31.609] | Prisoners of war in their own damn country, |
[02:34.379] | What for? |
[02:35.399] | Time passed in the prison town, |
[02:36.839] | He wanted them to live it down when they were free, |
[02:39.379] | The only way out was joinin' the army, |
[02:41.559] | And supposedly, some men went out for the army, signed on, |
[02:45.179] | And ended up flyin' to Japan with a bomb, |
[02:47.439] | That 15 kilotonne blast, put an end to the war pretty fast, |
[02:51.909] | Two cities were blown to bits; the end of the war came quick, |
[02:55.179] | Ken got out, big hopes of a normal life, with his kids and his wife, |
[02:59.819] | But, when they got back to their home, |
[03:01.309] | What they saw made them feel so alone, |
[03:03.719] | These people had trashed every room, |
[03:05.809] | Smashed in the windows and bashed in the doors, |
[03:07.959] | Written on the walls and the floor, |
[03:09.709] | "Japs not welcome anymore." |
[03:11.489] | And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and just stood outside, |
[03:15.629] | He, looked at his wife without words to say, |
[03:17.689] | She looked back at him wiped the tears away, |
[03:20.299] | And, said "Someday we'll be okay, someday," |
[03:22.969] | Now the names have been changed, but the story's true, |
[03:25.859] | My family was locked up back in '42, |
[03:28.699] | My family was there it was dark and damp, |
[03:30.759] | And they called it an internment camp |
[03:32.459] | |
[03:32.959] | When we first got back from camp... uhh |
[03:35.228] | It was... pretty... pretty bad |
[03:37.228] | |
[03:37.569] | I, I remember my husband said |
[03:40.489] | "Are we gonna stay 'til last?" |
[03:42.129] | Then my husband died before they close the camp. |
