In the next year, survivors and their descendants will make a pilgrimage to the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo to stamp the names of their loved ones.
The book weighs 25 pounds and is more than 1,000 pages long. It is roughly the size of the Gutenberg Bible.A few are living. Most are dead. All were incarcerated behind barbed wire during World War II, their only crime their Japanese ancestry.Next to the names of her parents, Chujiro Aochi and Kei Aochi, she stamped a blue circle.
She was 10 when strangers herded her into a horse stable at the Santa Anita racetrack, then to the Rohwer concentration camp in Arkansas.She was allowed to stamp only two names. She chose her parents and left her own name blank. Her three siblings’ names are also in the book. Survivors, descendants and clergy — nearly 150 in all — stepped through the ceremonial arches at the Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple and solemnly entered the museum as taiko drummers pounded. Some dabbed at tears.
Compiling the names took several years of exhaustive research, including combing through the 1940 census and reviewing World War II draft cards, Williams said. Actor George Takei was listed as Hosato George Takei at the Rohwer camp, then Hozato George Takei when his family moved to Tule Lake in Northern California.
