Artist Mine Okubo captured life in incarceration camps in World War II in these illustrations.
On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, under which nearly 75,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry were taken into custody. Another 45,000 Japanese nationals living in the United States were also incarcerated.
Mine Okubo was forced to relocate to the Topaz camp in Utah. There, she drew this for the camp’s literary magazine Trek. After seeing her work, Fortune magazine offered Okubo a job as an illustrator, and she was able to leave Topaz for New York City.
To learn more about the life this illustration depicts, and the legacy of Japanese incarceration, explore our exhibition “Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and World War II.” Link in the bio. “Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and WWII” is generously supported by the Terasaki Family Foundation, with additional assistance from the Japanese American Citizens League and AARP.
