At Manzanar

Frank lived on Block 20 at the Manzanar concentration camp. The famous photographer, Toyo Miyatake, lived on this block as well, and Frank was good friends with his son, Archie Miyatake. Sue Kunitomi, who established the Pilgrimmage to Manzanar, also lived on Block 20. And, Hikoji Takeuchi, who was shot by a sentry at Manzanar and had to return to Japan at the end of the war, lived on this block as well. Hikoji was Frank's best friend.
