TITLE Evacuation sale signs propped on mailbox DESCRIPTION Evacuation sale signs propped on mailbox "Evacuation Sale / Furniture All Must Be Sold" Original caption: "U.S. Army war emergency orders. Japanese try to sell their belongings." CONTEXT "We were renting a house, so we weren't able to store too much. People came to buy things. We sold our furniture. Stuff like that you have to sell; you can't take it away with you. You are limited to two suitcases -- what you can carry. We just took bedding, clothing. That's about all." Masao and Sada Mori, in Beyond Words: Images from America's Concentration Camps CREDIT Russell Lee Courtesy of Library of Congress DATE May 20, 1942 |
