Oral Histories and Interviews

Many 100th Infantry Battalion veterans, along with those who served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and Military Intelligence Service, have been interviewed over the course of several decades. The largest collection of oral histories resides with the Go for Broke National Education Center in southern California. Their Hanashi Oral History project interviewed over 1,200 veterans and can be accessed at: http://www.goforbroke.org.

Interviews with 100th veterans reside in this website’s archive, especially articles for the Hawaii Herald newspaper that Ben Tamashiro, a 100th veteran, wrote about fellow comrades whom he had interviewed.

As interview transcripts and/or resulting articles are made available, they will be added to this website.

The following is a list of the 137 veterans from the 100th who were interviewed by the Hanashi Oral History project. The region indicates where they were living at the time of the interview.
