Biography

1942 forced-removal chronology

The Heart Mountain institutional biography records arrival at Santa Anita Assembly Center on May 27, 1942, followed by Heart Mountain on September 17, 1942. These are dated confinement milestones, not a complete continuous-custody span or a revision of the later draft-resistance case. Heart Mountain institutional biography.
