Turkey has stepped up for an important role in the storm of Germany and Italy's deep resistance against Britain and France. It recently signed a mutual assistance treaty with Britain and is now in agreement with France; it is said that that a treaty with them will soon be signed as well. The position taken by Turkey, which dominates the route from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, is obviously important and the responsibility exercised by President General Ismet Inonu, who shoulders the destiny of Turkey, is accordingly extremely large.\r\n\r\nGeneral Inonu was chosen to be president by the Grand National Assembly following the death of former President Ataturk, called the father of the Turkish Republic, on November 11 of last year. The general had been active from the founding of the country as the former president's right hand man and served twice as prime minister. Although he later retired from public office and lived quietly, he enjoyed the confidence of all the Turkish people as an elder statesman. He may have 'gotten the people's confidence to emerge from difficult ground' [?]\r\n\r\nAlthough the fact that Turkey, which was treated so terribly by Britain and France after the World War, is now clinging to them and helping advance their power, makes it seem as if is being made to dance to their tune, President Inonu has his eyes on the course of history and has sent a military delegation to Britain and is said to be preparing to strengthen the Turkish military. What exactly is going through his mind? Is it the former glory of the Ottoman Empire, or something else?

John apologizes to Harold for not writing and writes about his high school graduation in March 1943. John writes about noticing a disconnect between his life and his faith, that he was feeling ill and felt as if God was far away from him, and that he did not feel comfort with his friends. John writes about going to the orphanage to see a friend and meeting an orphan girl named Matsuko Kodani. John writes extensively about Matsuko and her love of God. He quotes many scriptures relating to God's love and writes about living a life that reflects those ideals. He praises his truely Christian relationship with Matsuko and notes that she is 17, is going to graduate high school in July, and also teaches a Sunday school class. John breaks away from talking about his faith, to asking Harold questions about pole vaulting, sports statistics, and the army. He mentions that he doesn't know what his military status is, but he would only join the military as a non-combatant. He writes about world affairs and mentions that America is not a Christian nation. He mentions that being in camp has allowed him to see through the \"fake fronts\" of the government and and the public. The last page of the letter includes two illustrations of him struggling to do an iron cross on athletic rings. He asks Harold to let him know when he goes to the military so that he could try to make arrangements to see him in person. He concludes his letter by stating his gratitude for having friends such as Harold and \"Mats.\"","extent":"11 x 8 1/2 in.

Yamaguchi calls her father an \"assimilationist\" who mostly associated with non-Asians, and she feels that she, too, did not have a lot of Japanese American friends when she was growing up. When Yamaguchi began to pursue medical education at the University of California, San Francisco, in 1971, she realized how her lack of exposure to professional role models, as well as her experience of growing up in an extremely \"non-verbal\" family, made it a challenge for her to be in a decision-making position. She describes herself as being only \"around on the fringes\" of the Asian American activism in the 1970s. She joined the East Bay Socialist Doctors Group and the Physicians for Social Responsibility, and through members of these groups, she learned in the early 1980s about US survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. She was struck by their graciousness and gratefulness to physicians who offered the needed medical care. \"Given what they've gone through,\" Yamaguchi says, she felt it necessary to assist US hibakusha. She supports a single-payer health care system, and feels that US survivors are one of many groups that have been disadvantaged by the absence of such a system. Yamaguchi also enjoys working with Japanese physicians from Hiroshima who come biannually to conduct a health checkup for American hibakusha. She joined the Sansei Legacy Project beginning in 1990, which put her more in touch with her feelings about being raised by the parents who had been incarcerated during the war. She also made many more Japanese American friends through her participation in the group. At the time of the interview, Yamaguchi worked as a part-time physician in a public clinic serving the underserved patients in San Francisco's Japantown area.","extent":"1:14:46","links_children":"ddr-densho-1021-1","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":963,"namepart":"Kathy Yamaguchi"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Naoko Wake"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"San Francisco, California","creation":"15-Jul-11","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Kathy Yamaguchi narrator \nNaoko Wake interviewer","download_large":"ddr-densho-1021-1-1-mezzanine-c34c47b317-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1024-17","model":"entity","index":"3 1178/{'value': 1186, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1024-17/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1024-17/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1024/ddr-densho-1024-17-mezzanine-8f213b2ab6-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1024/ddr-densho-1024-17-mezzanine-8f213b2ab6-a.jpg"},"title":"Japanese Relocation","description":"Narr. by Milton S.

Her father had come to Hawai'i from Hiroshima in the mid-1910s as a contract worker on a pineapple plantation. He grew vegetables and kept chickens around the house to help feed the family. Her mother cooked Japanese food only in part because meat was hard to come by. Many of their co-workers on the plantation were Japanese, and Yuriko used to go to the after-school school at Hongan-ji with these co-workers' children. Her peers at the public school included Filipinos, Chinese, Polynesians, Portuguese, and Haoles. When she was ten years old, her uncle and aunt in Los Angeles, who had been successful owners of Olympic Hotel, took her to Japan. They were childless, so their plan was to make Yuriko the family's heir. Yuriko quickly adjusted to the life in Japan and graduated from high school. She was working in an airplane factory when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Although she was not injured, she was irradiated because she walked through the city on the day after to look for her aunt and uncle. The entire city was still on fire. She saw many corpses and people with severe nuclear burns. She lost one of her uncles to the bomb. She also visited her friend working at an orphanage, and was struck by how many children had lost their parents to the bomb. In 1948, she went to Hawai'i to see her parents, thanks to the arrangement made by her brother who had come to Japan as part of the US occupation force. She decided that she did not want to go back to Hiroshima where memories of the destruction \"depressed\" her. She studied to regain her English and worked at her sister's bakery near Kahoku. She married a baker, and they became successful owners of another bakery named after their oldest son. Yuriko was somewhat worried about radiation effect when she was pregnant with her first child. She gained hibakusha techo (certificate of survivorhood) issued by the Japanese government in the 1960s. She also regularly attends the biannual health checkups conducted by Japanese physicians for American survivors.","extent":"2:52:35","links_children":"ddr-densho-1021-7","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":968,"namepart":"Yuriko Furubayashi"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Naoko Wake"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Kailua, Hawai‘i","creation":"11-Jun-13","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Yuriko Furubayashi narrator \nNaoko Wake interviewer","download_large":"ddr-densho-1021-7-1-mezzanine-681d36effc-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1000-142","model":"entity","index":"5 1180/{'value': 1186, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1000-142/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1000-142/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-sroger-01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-sroger-01-a.jpg"},"title":"Roger Shimomura Interview","description":"Roger Shimomura's paintings, prints, and theater pieces address sociopolitical issues of Asian America.

Individually and jointly, they and other family members had written and gathered material documenting their family history. They shared much of this with me to assist with research and preparation for the Densho interview. Mitsuye's daughter Jeni had coordinated much of the family history work. Jeni participated as a secondary interviewer during the group sessions, October 8-9, 2002.<p></p>The group interview sessions were conducted in Seattle at the home of Tom Ikeda, executive director of Densho. The oldest Yasutake sibling, Reverend Seiichi Michael Yasutake, had passed away less than a year before the Densho interviewing, in December, 2001.
