The Omoide core team members present in person, using live dialog and informative slides. They also write and research stories while assisting in the development of the book and project.

  • Atsushi (Ats) Kiuchi - Incarcerated with his family from 1942-1945 at Puyallup, Washington and Minidoka, Idaho
  • Janet Baba - Incarcerated with her family from 1942-1945 at Portland Assembly Center, Oregon; Minidoka Relocation Authority, Idaho and Tule Lake War Relocation Authority, California.
  • Dee Goto - Dee is the spearhead leader for the Omoide project and book. She continues to promote, manage, and develop future related Omoide projects.

In addition to the core team, there are many other authors and volunteers who contributed to this project. Some of their names and bibliographies are included in the books. The number of wonderful volunteers and organizations that helped are too numerous to list here and continue to grow. Thank you to all. (Our apologies to anyone who was overlooked.)
