Following Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor, the family's lease was unceremoniously ended. Ishibashi and his family were imprisoned in a concentration camp in Poston, Arizona, during World War II. Ishibashi left the camp to work on sugar beet farms and was able to travel while on leave from the U.S. Army. After the war, Ishibashi resettled in Palos Verdes, California, leasing the same land his father farmed before the war. The land dwindled as residential development covered the peninsula. Ishibashi took jobs as a mechanic, was evicted from his farm a second time and eventually retired in Gardena, California.\r\n\r\nThis interview is part of the South Bay History Project created by the South Bay Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League.","extent":"1:59:02","links_children":"ddr-densho-400-7","creators":[{"role":"narrator","namepart":"George Ishibashi"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Richard Kawasaki"}],"format":"av","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"California","facility":[{"term":"Poston (Colorado River)","id":"2"}],"creation":"January 23, 2004","status":"completed","search_hidden":"George Ishibashi narrator \nRichard Kawasaki interviewer","download_large":"ddr-densho-400-7-mezzanine-31217c7310-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1000-278","model":"entity","index":"21 171/{'value': 343, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1000-278/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1000-278/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-yharry-01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-yharry-01-a.jpg"},"title":"Harry K.
