What really kills me about this photo, of firefighters at Pearl Harbor? The lovely woman who is second from the left? Likely ended up illegally detained in an interment camp months after this photo was taken.
You might also like reading through this piece (http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/specials/pearlharbor60/chapter4.html) from a Honolulu Advertiser special on the 60th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks -- that whole special edition is full of incredible stories, but the linked chapter focuses on the Japanese-American experience in Hawai'i and gives a lot more detail and personal reminiscences related to all this stuff I've been babbling about.
