Uniform Goes Back, Friday 9 January 1942
It didn’t take long after the 7 December 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor for life to become much more difficult for Japanese people (many of whom were born here) living in Vancouver. Later in the year they were stripped of everything but what they could carry and shipped off to internment camps.
