Case Number

In the so-called controlled phase of the removal of the Nikkei, social workers on loan to the Bureau of Public Assistance were responsible for the provision of “all necessary social welfare services for the individuals affected by the Exclusion Order” and on hand at all of the 123 Control Stations. Social workers interviewed, registered, and counseled all Nikkei; made recommendations for exemptions and deferments; organized family separations as well as unions and reunions; and tagged and eventually shipped all of them off to temporary detention camps, usually referred to as Assembly Centers. The case number assigned to each family by a social worker during this registration process was the one with which all individuals and accompanying luggage were tagged for removal and used to identify them throughout their incarceration.
