Mochida Family
- Title
- Mochida Family
- Description
- The Mochida family, relatives of Fred Korematsu, painted their name and an identifying symbol on each of their bags so the children could keep track of their possessions. The War Relocation Authority required them to wear tags with assigned identification numbers: one number per family and a letter for each family member. ‚"A‚" denoted the head of the family or, if the elders did not speak English, the Nisei child who would be the chief point of contact with the authorities. Photograph by Dorothea Lange, Centerville, CA, May 9, 1942. National Archives 537505.
