| This pre-camp photo of Ms. Ayukawa's mother and brother in downtown Vancouver. Photographers used to set up on the street, take pictures, and offer the photos a week later for sale. | This is Midge Ayukawa's mother sitting on the porch in the Lemon Creek Internment Camp hut. There was isolation in the internment camps, and the hardships without their husbands made these camps a difficult place and time. Mrs. Ayukawa's mother is now in her 90's. |
