June 5, 1943: In what in hindsight is a somewhat confusing act, more than 1,700 Hawaiians of Japanese ancestry, including more than a hundred from Maui, give $10,340 to the U.S. Government for the bombing missions to Tokyo. The personal collection was to express the Japanese-American condemnation of Japanese treatment of American Prisoners of War. They did this while tens of thousands of Japanese-Americans were illegally and unconstitutionally interred in concentration camps in California; many of the prisoners were related to the donaters.
