Call to Duty: Outagamie County in World War II

The Mochida Family

The US government held the Mochidas and thousands of Japanese-American families in relocation centers during the war. The War Relocation Authority ran centers in California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas. Internees harvested crops by day and lived in camps surrounded by guards and barbed wire at night.
