Minoru Kiyota, a perspective of a Kibei at Topaz.

This is an excerpt of Minoru Kiyota's book "Beyond Loyalty: The Story of a Kibei." Originally, this book was published in Japan as "Nikkei Hangyaku" but was later translated into English. This excerpt describes Kiyota's memories of an FBI interview at Topaz. The FBI was suspicious of Kiyota because he was a Kibei, someone who was born in the United States, but was educated in Japan. As a result, Kiyota was not allowed to leave the camp and go to college as his other classmates did.

Minoru Kiyota, "Beyond Loyalty: The Story of a Kibei," (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1997), 76-84.
