Diaries

Reina Spiegel: March 25, 1942

They are closing our quarter; they are moving people out of town; there are persecutions, unlawfulness. And on top of that—there’s spring, kisses, sweet caresses, which make me forget about the whole world.

—Renia Spiegel, civilian (diary)

George Beck: March 25, 1944

Working till six o’clock at nights now. No parcels for months now. No cigarettes after Monday.

—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)

Tatsusei Yogi: March 25, 1945

An air raid warning sounded at 6:30 a.m., and the bombardment from the ships was worse than yesterday. One of the Japanese soldiers said that American forces had landed at Kerama, Zamani, and Tokashiki islands southwest of Naha. So we left home at 7:00 p.m. to go to Ginowan along with some neighbors. We found a cart on which we loaded bare necessities -- blankets and clothes for the children. The cart also carried Grandfather (83 years old), Sachiko (9 months), and Takashi (2 years, 7 months). Chiyo pulled the cart while Emiko (8 years old), Takenobu (6 years old), and I pushed. We passed Shuri on the hill.

—Tatsusei Yogi, civilian (diary)
