Yabe family papers

 Digital Record
Identifier: Coll 982

Summary

Digitized selections from a collection of materials that document the experiences and history of members of the Yabe family, a Japanese American family based in southern California in the decades prior to World War II. Much of the collection relates to Mitsuye (Jyoko) Yabe, who emigrated from Japan in the early 20th century, and to her daughters, particularly her youngest daughter, Miyuki (Yabe) Yasui. The materials reflect their lives before, during, and after their forced removal and incarceration at Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming.
