Title

Suitcase used by Tora Okubara

Subject

Japanese Americans -- Evacuation and relocation, 1942-1945

Description

This suitcase was used by Tora Okubara when her family was removed from their home in Mill Valley, California to Granada Relocation Center, Colorado. The suitcase is monogrammed with Okubara's initials near the handle. There is also a number written on the lid of the trunk. It is possible that this number is the family number the War Relocation Authority assigned to the Okubaras.
