Scope and Contents
This series contains materials pertaining to the Takano family’s incarceration during World War II. The materials include documents issued by War Relocation Authority (WRA), Western Defense Command, and the Office of Price Administration, such as letters, notices, ID cards, forms, war ration books, and receipts for shipment issued by agencies arranged by the U.S. government, published items from the Gila River camp in Arizona during the war, such as newspapers, booklets, and maps, as well as documents for redress and reparations issued by the Justice Department and National Archives and Records Administration after the war, and a booklet from the 50th reunion published in 1995. Noted are letters regarding an application for leave from an incarceration camp. A letter from WRA provides instructions on changing answers to questions 27 and 28 of the “loyalty questionnaire,” which resulted in denial of a leave permit if the answers were negative. Fumio Fred Takano whose responses are negative writes a letter to the Interview Committee explaining that his answer to question 27 was altered to the negative response by a registration officer.
