Color silent amateur films by Dave Tatsuno (1913-2006), a businessman in the San Francisco Bay area. Composed largely of home movie clips, taken 1942-1945, of the environment the Japanese Americans lived in during World War II in forced exclusion at the Topaz concentration camp near Delta, Utah.

This segment (01:33) shows people queuing outside a building; the program for Promotion Sunday (September 5, 1943) at the Topaz Protestant Sunday School; children and family groups; a Japanese American minister; crowds, including several Caucasian camp personnel.
