DiaporamaWorking at the Topaz Times, Central Utah Relocation Project, Topaz, Utah, 1942
A woman seated at a table in the left foreground, Mine Okubo, eats a sandwich at the Topaz Times, where she works. Unwrapped in front of her, are five slices of bread, a jar of jelly and a knife. A woman in a head scarf and floral patterned shirt works at a table beside her. A man in a hunting cap sits behind them in the midground reading a paper with his feet propped on a table. In the background, four men and one woman assemble papers, rest, or finish lunch. Stacks of papers, pots, cups and a cardboard box sit on the work tables. A kettle warms atop a wood-burning stove, left midground.
