Description
In one the blackest hours of American History, American citizens of Japanese descent were rounded up soon after Pearl Harbor and told to leave all their belongings and report to internment camps with no more than 48 hours of notice. In which Justice William O. Douglas described as the worse decision he, or his Supreme Court Justices ever approved, by a 6-3 decision, the internment of Fred Korematsu was allowed and the internment was officially approved.

This left thousands of Americans of Japanese descent forced to get rid of all of their belongings and their property at pennies on the dollar. Ethel Bloom didn´t allow that to happen to the Japanese family that she knew.
She agreed to manage the large farms of one of her Real Estate clients, and did so until they were released after the war, keeping just a small fee for herself and the management of the company books.
For this, the patriarch of the Japanese family, upon his release, rewarded Ethel with a cruise to Hawaii, and she is depicted her either on the way to or just returning from that voyage to Hawaii.
