Biography

Masako Fujimura, also known as Mary Fujimura, was a Kauai-born Honolulu maid who returned to Hawaii in spring 1941 after living in Japan. JCCH documents April 1942 arrest and US Immigration Station detention April-May 1942, Sand Island May 1942-March 1943 and Honouliuli March-September 1943. She was paroled September 1943 and released from parole October 1944. Her case belongs to US wartime civilian incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry; the archive does not establish an individual criminal conviction.
