The late Karl G. Yoneda (1906-1999), former Japanese-American labor activist & WWII veteran, published this diary in Japanese in 1988 through the PMC Publishing Co. in Tokyo, Japan. It chronicles the period from Dec. 7th 1941 to Dec. 17th 1942, during which he and his family were forcibly interned in the "Relocation Center" for Japanese-Americans at Manzanar, California. This paperback is an English rendition thereof, originally translated from the Japanese by Ian R. Forsyth between 1992-1995. In 1997 a very few (5) hard copies were produced & hand-bound by the translator, but the project was shelved in the absence of a willing publisher. In May 2021 an ebook (ePub) version was published with the permission of, and in collaboration with Karl Yoneda's three granddaughters. This paperback edition is derived from the ebook file, with a small number of modifications and several additional photographs from the U.S. National Archives.
