Okinawan POWs were the last group among four major ethnic groups of POWs to arrive in Hawaiʻi during and immediately following WWII. Although the exact reason for their forced transport to Hawaiʻi from the battleground of Okinawa is unclear, this presentation will examine clues that reveal details of their lives in Honouliuli based on US military documents, interviews and their memoirs in Japanese.
