The Oka Family
CC: Was there any chance for you to deny that?
Amos: No, my father was a tough guy. At least to me. I had no way of talking back to him. He was the typical Japanese father.
CC: Speaking of your father and parents, what kind of parents were they, both before and after camp?
Eva: They were always working, both of them worked at the mess hall. They didn’t communicate with us. We never saw them. The boys were in one room and the girls were in the other. Not much raising.
Amos: Life wasn’t family.
Eva: And then my father went to work for the railroad, so he left after a while. So my mom was left.
Amos: I left early with my father back to San Jose, once they allowed us to go back to the West Coast. My father and I came out and we lived in the San Jose Buddhist Church and slept on the floor of the Methodist Church.
Michael Sera: When you came back to Japantown, was it how you remembered it?
Eva: You couldn’t get a job. “We don’t hire Japs’ and all that kind of stuff.
MS: Even in Japantown?
Eva: Yep. We tried to get a job in the cannery. ‘No Japs hired.’ Anywhere you tried to find a job.
Amos: Listen to this. After I finished high school and I joined the army, and I was in the army and went to Germany. I came back and wanted to go to Cal Berkel
