The Gentaro Takahashi collection is new to the Densho Digital Repository, documenting Takahashi’s life from his arrival in the United States in 1907 to the 1970s. He and his family were incarcerated in Minidoka, then resettled in Michigan. Takahashi attempted to reclaim “contraband” and personal effects taken at the time of internment, and also worked with Senators and the Japanese American Citizens League to pass a personal law allowing him to remain in the United States. 1 - Crayon drawing of Minidoka by Kinji Takahashi.
