The panic of a nation. The cries for revenge and anger of his neighbors. The sentiments boiled within him, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But \u201cYosh,\u201d as he likes to be called, also recalls the subsequent rage directed at people who looked like him. The suspicions that followed that day of infamy. The eventual order to leave his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That dreaded notice arrived in May 1942. Yosh was a junior in high school in El Monte, California. Just months earlier, inside the walls of that blissfully isolated existence unique to teenage academia, his classmates had elected him president of the school\u2019s honor club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bonus: A soldier who served after Japanese internment\" allowtransparency=\"true\" height=\"150\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?i=c5h8a-1331a88-pb&#038;from=pb6admin&#038;share=1&#038;download=1&#038;rtl=0&#038;fonts=Georgia&#038;skin=1&#038;font-color=auto&#038;logo_link=episode_page&#038;btn-skin=3267a3\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of that mattered to those who didn\u2019t know Yosh. Outsiders didn\u2019t see an artist, a farmer, a family-oriented kid. No amount of good standing made a difference once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/executive-order-9066\" target=\"_blank\">Executive Order 9066 <\/a>was dispatched from the desk of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear and anger incited by politicians and media in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor spawned rumors. Rumors were quickly accepted as truth. Japan <i>must <\/i>be receiving intelligence from spies in America. An illuminated light on a Japanese-American porch <i>has <\/i>to<i> <\/i>be a signal for enemy submarines. It all seemed so believable. How else could a small nation like Japan attack a titan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMany people stopped seeing the difference between Japanese-Americans and the enemy,\u201d says Nakamura, now 97. \u201cThere was no exception. If you happen to have any Japanese blood, you were guilty. But we were just as shocked and angry as anyone else. We had Japanese faces, but American hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the charge of Lt. Gen. John L. DeWitt, the executive order, one issued under the guise of safeguarding national security, was carried out up and down the Pacific coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First generation\u2014Issei\u2014and second generation\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Japanese-American-internment\" target=\"_blank\">Nisei, or, U.S. citizens by birthright<\/a>\u2014individuals of Japanese descent were removed from their homes en masse and ordered to report to assembly centers to await further instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2012\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/national-archives.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/national-archives.jpeg.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/national-archives.jpeg.jpg?resize=300,295 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/national-archives.jpeg.jpg?resize=768,755 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/national-archives.jpeg.jpg?resize=1024,1006 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/national-archives.jpeg.jpg?resize=1536,1509 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Newspaper headlines depict national hysteria following Pearl Harbor.

Hours elapsed before the locomotive screeched to a halt in Tulare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The streets surrounding the train station were a sea of dejected faces, families torn from the only homes they\u2019d known. Nakamura\u2019s family was ushered toward the town\u2019s fairgrounds between a gauntlet of soldiers with rifles and bayonets at the ready. The race track was encircled with barbed wire. Guard towers stood at intervals. Search lights and sentries oscillated between each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was probably the most humiliating experience of my life,\u201d Nakamura says. \u201cWe had done nothing wrong, we weren\u2019t charged with anything, and yet we were being treated like prisoners of war. The soldiers said they were there to protect us, but every search light and soldier faced in toward the camp instead of away from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey called it an \u2018assembly center.\u2019 That was a nice name for a prison.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2973\" height=\"2160\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55-210-g-b-16-rev.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55-210-g-b-16-rev.jpg.jpg 2973w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55-210-g-b-16-rev.jpg.jpg?resize=300,218 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55-210-g-b-16-rev.jpg.jpg?resize=768,558 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55-210-g-b-16-rev.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,744 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55-210-g-b-16-rev.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1116 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55-210-g-b-16-rev.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1488 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2973px) 100vw, 2973px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Japanese-Americans load onto trains to transport to an &#8220;assembly center.&#8221; (National Archives)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though their waiting period at the Tulare fairgrounds would be brief, the Nakamura family would never be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sleeping on cots in horse stalls that had been repurposed into living quarters, Nakamura\u2019s father, who had begun suffering from night terrors, fell from his cot during one of the family\u2019s first nights away from home. For the rest of his life, the elder Nakamura would be hampered by frequent convulsions that made even the simplest task impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe just wasn\u2019t himself anymore,\u201d says Yosh, whose mother died when he was seven. \u201cWe\u2019d lost our farm and our father. We just had to manage the best we could.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weeks after being abruptly uprooted, the Nakamuras were ordered to Arizona\u2019s Gila River War Relocation Center \u2014 \u201danother prison,\u201d Yosh says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was one of 10 such camps that dotted desolate regions in California, Arizona, Wyoming, and Colorado, among others. It would be inside Gila River\u2019s barbed wire boundaries, which held approximately 10,000 Japanese-Americans, that the honor club president would complete his high school studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"982\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Gila_River_WRC_Camp_2.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Gila_River_WRC_Camp_2.jpg.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Gila_River_WRC_Camp_2.jpg.jpg?resize=300,147 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Gila_River_WRC_Camp_2.jpg.jpg?resize=768,377 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Gila_River_WRC_Camp_2.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,503 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Gila_River_WRC_Camp_2.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,754 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gila River internment camp.

Among the form\u2019s myriad queries was one particular question that asked whether those in captivity would renounce their allegiance to the emperor of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere was no right answer to that,\u201d Yosh says. \u201cIf you answered yes, then it was like admitting you <i>did <\/i>have allegiance. And of course if you answered no&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo many of us had never even <i>been<\/i> to Japan, but that questionnaire showed the mentality of the people who put us in camps. Because we have these faces, we must be loyal to the emperor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakamura checked \u2018Yes.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt seemed to be the better of the two answers,\u201d he says, laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yosh\u2019s eyes then scanned toward another section of the form. Would he be willing to join the U.S. military and go wherever ordered?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t know many who would answer \u2018yes\u2019 to that question while being imprisoned without any charge by the government that\u2019s asking,\u201d he says. \u201cBut we did. We wanted to prove that we were loyal Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 1944, Nakamura was a soldier in France, arriving as a replacement in the U.S. Army\u2019s famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an unfathomably decorated outfit made up almost entirely of soldiers of Japanese descent, including Medal of Honor recipient and eventual Hawaii state Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2020\/06\/02\/not-even-a-severed-arm-could-stop-him-from-taking-down-nazis-now-his-story-is-a-graphic-novel\/\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Inouye<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1074\" height=\"1329\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_1306-2-1.jpg-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_1306-2-1.jpg-1.jpg 1074w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_1306-2-1.jpg-1.jpg?resize=242,300 242w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_1306-2-1.jpg-1.jpg?resize=768,950 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_1306-2-1.jpg-1.jpg?resize=828,1024 828w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1074px) 100vw, 1074px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yoshio Nakamura in uniform. (Courtesy of the Nakamura family)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakamura\u2019s stint in France would be a brief one, however. The Italian Campaign beckoned, and within months, Yosh and other members of the 442nd were boarding landing crafts destined for Leghorn, Italy, where they were to hurl lead and flesh against the Nazis\u2019 daunting Gothic Line, an interlocked series of staunch defenses woven across the sawtoothed Apennine Mountains in the country\u2019s northwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Embedded among those steep marble sentinels jutting skyward from the Ligurian Sea were nearly 2,400 machine gun nests, an interminable network of bunkers and artillery positions, and observation posts that allowed the Nazis to track enemy movements from miles away. Together, the fortifications formed the last barrier between the Allies and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 442nd was given the order to attack the Gothic Line during the first week of April 1945. Yosh and the Nisei in his company were to take Monte Folgorito, a slick 3,000-foot peak peppered with Nazi dugouts and outposts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natural conditions \u2014 the mountain ascends at a 60-degree incline \u2014 meant a daytime assault would be virtually impossible. With the disadvantage of the escarpments, the 442nd were ordered to attack under the cover of nightfall. Silence was paramount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total darkness the Nisei climbed, lugging gear and ammunition with painstaking care to avoid rousing an unsuspecting enemy. One soldier slipped, plummeting 300 feet to his death. He didn\u2019t make a sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we had engaged the Nazis before we got to the top, I probably wouldn\u2019t be here,\u201d recalls Nakamura, who was tasked during the assault with shouldering ammunition for his mortar company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt had to be done very quietly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the morning of April 5, the 442nd\u2019s cloak-and-dagger approach had landed the Nisei on Folgorito\u2019s summit. Below them, the backs of Nazis ripe for the picking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe made it to the top and surprised the outposts and managed to knock out quite a good number of them in just a half-hour,\u201d Yosh says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The panicked Nazis responded with a hailstorm of mortar and artillery fire so intense that Yosh\u2019s hearing never fully recovered. But the resolute soldiers with \u201cGo For Broke\u201d as their motto only tightened their stranglehold on the mountain, meticulously eliminating Nazis bunker by bunker and carving a path for the Allied advance into Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnless we had wiped out those outposts, Allied forces could not have advanced North,\u201d Yosh says. \u201cI was very pleased to learn later that it was a major campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By April 6, the Nisei had seized the bulk of the Apennine Mountains. A little over a month later, Germany surrendered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yosh\u2019s war abroad was over. The Nisei\u2019s fight at home was drawing to a long-awaited close as well. In March 1946, the last remaining internment camp closed. Today, the Bronze Star Medal Yosh keeps on display remains a tangible testament to the loyalty his country once doubted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1118\" height=\"1282\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/squad-leader-NARA-Connie-Gentry.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/squad-leader-NARA-Connie-Gentry.jpg.jpg 1118w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/squad-leader-NARA-Connie-Gentry.jpg.jpg?resize=262,300 262w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/squad-leader-NARA-Connie-Gentry.jpg.jpg?resize=768,881 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/squad-leader-NARA-Connie-Gentry.jpg.jpg?resize=893,1024 893w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1118px) 100vw, 1118px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Nisei soldier in Europe.

An art degree from the University of Southern California soon followed, as did a high school teaching position in Whittier, California, just miles from where his high school education was cut abruptly short years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakamura met his wife Grace in 1948 while attending a church service. Members of the congregation were heading to the beach. Yosh decided to offer her a ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grace, whose family was forced during the war to relocate to the Manzanar internment camp in Inyo County, happily accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat was the beginning of a pretty good friendship,\u201d Yosh says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the classroom, Nakamura\u2019s rapport with his students quickly caught the eye of regional school administrators, who, by the early 1960s, charted a course for Yosh to become the founding chair of the Fine Arts Department at Rio Hondo College in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quick-witted veteran now jokes that his \u201cacademic and professional career is more interesting than my life before, even as a soldier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI find myself spending more time talking about my experiences as a soldier because that\u2019s what people want to hear, but I\u2019ve really had a terrific life as an educator and artist,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1847\" height=\"3009\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4988.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4988.jpeg.jpg 1847w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4988.jpeg.jpg?resize=184,300 184w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4988.jpeg.jpg?resize=768,1251 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4988.jpeg.jpg?resize=629,1024 629w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4988.jpeg.jpg?resize=943,1536 943w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4988.jpeg.jpg?resize=1257,2048 1257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1847px) 100vw, 1847px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nakamura in a Tai Chi stance in front of one of his paintings.
