Food on the ship to the U.S.

We had only cookies, I believe, a can like so big, I don't know how we brought that, but that was something to eat for me and the family. Besides that, I remember I would, at that age, you wander, like you wander around the ship, somehow, I did, with my sister. We looked around and wanted to see what's going on. And my sister opened up this door, and it was a mess hall. And she opened it up and you could smell some of the food. So there were people eating there, and we sat down at a table, and I guess we didn't think about people that were there, and we were kind of hungry, too, at the same time we were sick. And we were fed. They gave us two plates, and it was sauerkraut and sausage. Oh, when you're sick, you don't want smell the sauerkraut, and I still remember, we didn't get to eat sauerkraut, we munched on the sausage and we left right away and went back to our room.

Jimmy Naganuma nasceu em Callao, Peru, em 1936, de pais Isseis. Ele tinha oito anos quando sua família foi forçada a embarcar em um navio para serem encarcerados em Crystal City, Texas, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Eles permaneceram lá, mesmo depois que a guerra terminou, sem um lugar para ir. Eles puderam sair por meio de um reverendo em São Francisco, Califórnia, onde conseguiram emprego e moradia.
