Abstract

This study investigates the role and characteristics of Seagoville Enemy Alien Detention Station which existed during World War II in Texas, and its internees. If a prison camp could ever be described as comfortable, the Seagoville internment camp, southeast of Dallas, may have been “the most comfortable” internment camp in the U.S. It held Japanese, German, Italian married couples without children, single women detained as enemy aliens arrested within the U.S., and those brought from Central and South America. Yet, little is known about its internees, and there seems to exist only two short descriptions of the Japanese: (1) about fifty Japanese language teachers from California who were arrested on suspicion of being disloyal to the U.S.; (2) a voyage of some Japanese families and other nonofficial persons who were shipped from their countries of residence in Central and South America to Seagoville Internment Camp. Considering such limited information about internees at this site, one contribution of this study is the introduction of six Japanese women who were sent from Hawaii to the mainland U.S. and interned at this facility. The author identified the subjects from the Hawaiʼi Internee Directory held by the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaiʼi (JCCH).
