Postcard from Tori and Kengo Tajima to Elizabeth Page and friends, September 15, 1945
In light of wartime restrictions on returning to their homes on the West Coast as well as fears of lingering anti-Japanese sentiment, many families became transplants to the Midwest and East Coast after their release from camp. In this postcard to friends, the Tajimas state that, rather than returning to California, "Higher Wisdom has decreed that we stay where we are. So Cleveland has become our home town."
