Wow, Jalna, I don't remember seeing these photos either. These pictures are amazing, all a little part of our history. My mother had a midwife for me when I was born, 7 months after Pearl Harbor. It was a very dark room, the windows all covered with black-out curtains and a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling, completely covered except for a tiny light showing through (so I've been told). Thanks for sharing these, Jalna!!!
Betty, the photos are displayed in the room to the left of where you sign in. I never even went in there the other time I visited. When I look at the pictures I wonder about my mom's dad who was actually bound for Brazil, but jumped ship when it stopped here. I picture him working in the cane fields fully clothed despite the heat as protection from the cuts endured from the sharp leaves of the sugar cane plant.
I didn't see all other these pictures either. They are so cool! I always wondered how life was for our grandparents. I know they came over from the old country, worked under horrible conditions but never really complained. Makes you wonder how bad it was back home. Grandmas and grandpas thanks for all the hardships you endured and all the sacrifices you made.
I love old pictures and always wonder how they took them. I wonder if the person(s) who took them knew they were capturing history? So happy you can share them those of us who couldn't get there. thanks!
Erick and Shun Wah, I think those old pictures are awesome. I imagine the photographer there taking the shot. That's what I just love about photography . . . capturing moments in time.
