The inferential meaning from the passage suggests that "All Japanese Americans on the West Coast were forced to relocate." This statement aligns with the historical context of the mass evacuation during World War II, where Japanese Americans faced internment due to perceived threats following the Pearl Harbor attacks. The passage references the author's position as a secretary prior to the evacuation, which contextually ties to the broader experience of Japanese Americans at that time.
At the time of the mass evacuation of all American Japanese from the West Coast, I was a 19 year old secretary to the principal of Gardena Elementary School.
