Internees Returning from the Mainland

Internees Returning from the Mainland

c. 1945-12

Photographs taken by unknown Honolulu Star-Bulletin photographers illustrate one of the most serious lapses in American democracy. The internment of approximately 1,500 Hawai`i residents, though small by comparison to that of Japanese on the mainland, hurt just the same. The photographs suggest the disruption and dislocation that occurred in the lives of the internees.
