Hawaiian Japanese Americans in World War 2 [View all]

Hey guys. I am posting with a question that I hope somebody could have some insight on:

I am of Japanese American descent and grew up with stories from my grandmother who grew up in Hawaii during world war 2. When she was a child, it is said that she had soldiers come into her home and confiscate anything that was perceived as pertaining to the emperor of Japan. However, outside of some incidents of internment in Hawaii, I was unable to find much information that documented policies and occurrences such as what my grandmother went through.

Any insight or resources would be helpful!
