The Face of Japanese-American Interment Dies

On March 30, 1942, Fumiko Hayashida and 226 other Japanese Americans were removed from Bainbridge Island, Washington, and forced into internment camps. A news photographer snapped her photo as she held her 13 month old daughter in her arms.

Fumiko survived internment and lived to the incredible age of 103. She died this past week in Seattle.
