Japanese American boy standing near a soldier with a rifle, possibly in Seattle, 1942
Order an ImageOn February 19, 1942, shortly after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and United States entry into WWII, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, calling for the exclusion of all civilians of Japanese descent from "designated military areas." More than 9,000 Japanese and Japanese American people living in the Pacific Northwest were forced into incarceration camps in Idaho and California until 1945.
In this photo, a Japanese American child stands next to an armed US soldier. Writing on the photograph identifies the child as Masaru Shibayama. The precise location and date of the photo are unknown, but it was probably taken during a forced removal in the Seattle area.
Handwritten on image: [Masaru] Shibayama.
Handwritten on sleeve: Japanese child Shibayama, Masaru.
