Following in Betty’s footsteps in Seattle:
or some small talk with Betty

translated by Mary Holmes
“At one time the hotel belonging to the parents of Monica Sone stood on the waterfront.”
“Oh, of your friend Kimi!” Unfortunately I forget to ask Betty exactly where it was.
My mind wanders and I think of my mountain hike back to the hotel! “Why is there no donkey for tourists?” Betty laughs:
“I’m sure you can walk back to the hotel. “Letizia can do everything.””
“Yes, Betty, I am my own donkey!”
During lunch we talked about tuberculosis, and that quite spoilt our appetite.
“Have you read my book “The Plague and I”?”
“Oh Betty, I’ve started to read it twice but both times I felt so sad I had to stop again!”
“But why?” asked Betty “Nearly everybody has tuberculosis! I recovered very quickly and put on 20 pounds! There was no talk of me wasting away! What did you think of my jokes in the book?”
“Those would have been a good reason for choosing another sanitorium. I would have been afraid of becoming a victim of your humour! You would have certainly given me a nickname! You always thought up such amusing names!” Betty laughed.
“You’re right. I would have called you “Roman nose”. I would have said to Urbi and Orbi “ Early this morning “Roman nose” was brought here. She speaks broken English, doesn’t eat geoduck but she does love cats.”
“Oh Betty, I would have felt so ashamed to cough. To cough in your presence, how embarrassing! You would have talked about how I coughed, how many coughs!”
“It depends on that “how”, Letizia!”
“Please, leave Goethe quotations out of it. You have certainly learnt from the Indians how to differentiate between noises. It’s incredible how you can distinguish between so many sorts of cough! At least 10!”
“So few?”
”And also your descriptions of the patients and the nurses were pitiless. An artistic revenge! The smallest pimple on their face didn’t escape your notice! Amazing.”
“ I was also pitiless to myself. Don’t forget my irony against myself!”
Betty was silent. She was thinking about Kimi, the “Princess” from Japan! No, she had only written good things about her best friend, Monica Sone, in her book “The Plague and I”. A deep friendship had started in the hospital. The pearl that developed from the illness.
“Isn’t it wonderful, Betty, that an unknown seed can make its way into a mollusk in the sea and develop into a beautiful jewel?” Betty is paying attention.
“Betty, the friendship between you and Monica reminds me of Goethe’s poem “Gingo-Biloba”. You must know it?” Betty nods and I begin to recite it:
The leaf of this Eastern tree
Which has been entrusted to my garden
Offers a feast of secret significance,
For the edification of the initiate.
Is it one living thing.
That has become divided within itself?
Are these two who have chosen each other,
So that we know them as one?
The friendship with Monica is like the wonderful gingo-biloba leaf, the tree from the east. Betty was touched. There was a deep feeling of trust between us.
“Our friendship never broke up, partly because she was in distress, endangered by the deadly illness. We understood and supplemented each other. We were like one lung with two lobes, one from the east and one from the west!”
“A beautiful picture, Betty. You were like two red gingo-biloba leaves!”
Betty was sad and said ” Monica, although Japanese, before she really knew me felt she was also an American. But she was interned in America, Letizia, during the second world war. Isn’t that terrible?”
“Betty, I never knew her personally. I have only seen her on a video, but what dignity in her face, and she speaks and moves so gracefully!”
“Fate could not change her”
“Yes, Betty, like the gingo-biloba tree in Hiroshima. It was the only tree that blossomed again after the atom bomb!”
The bill came and I paid at once. In America one is urged away from the table when one has finished eating. If one wants to go on chatting one has to order something else.
“That’s why all those people gossiping at the tables are so fat!” Betty remarks. “Haven’t you seen how many massively obese people walk around in the streets of America. Like dustbins that have never been emptied!” With this typically unsentimental remark Betty ended our conversation.
Ciao! I so enjoyed the talk; the humour, the irony and the empathy. I waved to her and now I too felt like moving! I take a lovely walk along the waterfront.
Now I am back in Heidelberg and when I think about how Betty’s “Princessin” left this world on September 5th and that in August I was speaking about her with Betty in Seattle I feel very sad. The readers who knew her well (we feel that every author and hero of a book is nearer to us than our fleeting neighbours next door) yes we, who thought of her as immortal, cannot believe that even she would die after 92 years. How unforeseen and unexpected that her death should come four days after her birthday on September 1th. On September 5th I was on my way to Turkey, once again in seventh heaven, looking back on the unforgettable days in Seattle. I was flying from west to east towards the rising sun.

Monica Sone's civil rights
It's Lasse,
Hi Anita and Eartha Kitt II,
Thank you so much for sharing your very important information.
To me it's quiete a shock to learn the depressing facts of internment of Japanse, Japanese Americans, European and European Americans in a democratic society.
Over 31.000 people were kept interned until July 1948 - more than three years after the war in Europe had ended.
I hope we can learn from the past and we are willing to.
Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone was furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights.
Monica Sone said to Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel:
I didn't move from Seattle - they moved me away and I never came back.
( only for family visits )
Of course everybody can understand Monica Sone's feelings.
A democratic society has to protect the civil rights of their people. Otherwise it's no longer a democratic society. A simple fact.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians.
Just imagine the loss of property, the personal insults, the barbed wire, armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, barren land, shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details, snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
Therefore Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a very important book.
Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder, author, poet and Monica Sone's good friend Wolfgang Hampel told us that Nisei Daughter belonged to the very few books he was rereading. I know many of us do the very same.
Betty MacDonald encouraged her friend Monica Sone in publishing her book 'Nisei Daughter'.
Betty MacDonald said: 'Nisei Daughter ' is a very remarkable book, humorous and delightfully readable, that takes you into the heart of a Japanese-American family and into the mind of the sensitive, perceptive eldest daughter.
The internment of the American born Japanese during World War II is handled with honesty and rare dispassion. It is certainly to Monica Sone's credit that she she still sings God bless America.
Betty MacDonald was right. Having Monica Sone's experiences I'm not sure I would.
I agree with John Heitman "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt."
Take care,
Lasse

Monica Sone and the past
Hi this is Anita and Eartha Kitt II,
We lost a friend.
Eartha and I and many Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans are so sad.
I was rereading Monica Sone's very important book 'Nisei Daughter'.
I agree with Milion S. Eisenhower who asked:
"How could such a tragedy have occurred
in a democratic society
that prides itself on individual rights and freedoms?"
I didn't know that some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians.
John Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
The most important question is: Do we really learn from our past?
The mentioned websites are really very important and we learned a lot.
May Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit live forever.
Our world needs personalities like these outstanding two ladies.
Love,
Anita and Eartha Kitt II

921 SON, Nisei Daughter
Monica Sone spent her childhood in pre-World War II Seattle, in a part Japanese, part American world. Dinner might be steak and pumpkin pie or pickled daikon, rice, and soy sauce; there was American public school during the day and the strict formality of Japanese school in the late afternoons. "I found myself switching my personality back and forth daily like a chameleon. At Bailey Gatzert School I was a jumping, screaming, roustabout Yankee, but at the stroke of three...I suddenly became a modest, faltering, earnest little Japanese girl with a small timid voice." Her memories of growing up are vivid and full of marvelous stories, showing the confusion, frustration, and enrichment of living within two cultures. These elements come together when Japan bombs Pearl Harbor and Monica and her family are sent to an internment camp in Topaz, Idaho. Nisei Daughter describes the loss of property and the personal insults, the barbed wire and armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, and barren land - and the efforts of the Japanese-Americans to maintain their ethics, family life, and belief in the United States. Monica Sone is furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights, and yet ironically, it is during her time in the camps and afterwards in the Midwest that she finally brings together the various aspects of her heritage. Straightforward, searching, often funny, this is a highly readable account of one woman's experience living in many worlds.

Years of silence: The untold story of German-American internment
by Deborah McCarty Smith
More than fifty years have passed since the beginnings of the arrest and internment of European Americans in the United States during World War II. For the most part, the history of internment has been either quieted or distorted. For example, the majority of the best-selling collegiate and secondary school history texts in the United States claim that, unlike Japanese Americans, the German and Italian Americans were not arrested and interned; and both the print and electronic news media have propagated this myth.
56% of all internees (14,426 of 25,655) were Europeans and European Americans--Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, even several Czechs and Poles.
The arrest of Germans, German Americans, Italians and Italian Americans began on December 7, 1941--four days before the U.S. was at war with Germany and Italy. [Source: ibid.]European and European Americans were kept interned until July 1948--more than three years after the war in Europe had ended.
Europeans and European-Americans accounted for 56 percent of all internees during World War II, according to Arthur Jacobs, co-editor of World War Two Experience: The Internment of German-Americans. In all, some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
"Do we really learn from our past?" John Heitmann wonders, tracing parallels between the internment of German- Americans in the '40s and government plans to intern suspected communists in the '50s, Iranians in the '70s and Iraqis in the '90s. In the FBI Filegate flap of the Clinton administration, in current anti-immigrant sentiment, in anti-terrorist legislation that circumvents due process, historians hear ominous echoes of earlier times.
"There are some intrinsic flaws in human nature that reappear and are reflected in our institutions. It's a story of how institutions end up biting people," Heitmann said. "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt," he said, acknowledging a professional curiosity that is fueled by a personal quest to discover a part of his family history that is buried under years of silence.
"Self-identity is an important purpose of history. It's a handle or fulcrum of how you understand yourself better. We're all a product of a complicated past. I see this as an example of what anyone can do: history as a process of self-discovery."

We lost a friend.
Eartha and I and many Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans are so sad.
I was rereading Monica Sone's very important book 'Nisei Daughter'.
I agree with Milion S. Eisenhower who asked:
"How could such a tragedy have occurred
in a democratic society
that prides itself on individual rights and freedoms?"
I didn't know that some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians.
John Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
The most important question is: Do we really learn from our past?
The mentioned websites are really very important and we learned a lot.
May Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit live forever.
Our world needs personalities like these outstanding two ladies.
Love,
Anita and Eartha Kitt II

921 SON, Nisei Daughter
Monica Sone spent her childhood in pre-World War II Seattle, in a part Japanese, part American world. Dinner might be steak and pumpkin pie or pickled daikon, rice, and soy sauce; there was American public school during the day and the strict formality of Japanese school in the late afternoons. "I found myself switching my personality back and forth daily like a chameleon. At Bailey Gatzert School I was a jumping, screaming, roustabout Yankee, but at the stroke of three...I suddenly became a modest, faltering, earnest little Japanese girl with a small timid voice." Her memories of growing up are vivid and full of marvelous stories, showing the confusion, frustration, and enrichment of living within two cultures. These elements come together when Japan bombs Pearl Harbor and Monica and her family are sent to an internment camp in Topaz, Idaho. Nisei Daughter describes the loss of property and the personal insults, the barbed wire and armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, and barren land - and the efforts of the Japanese-Americans to maintain their ethics, family life, and belief in the United States. Monica Sone is furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights, and yet ironically, it is during her time in the camps and afterwards in the Midwest that she finally brings together the various aspects of her heritage. Straightforward, searching, often funny, this is a highly readable account of one woman's experience living in many worlds.

Years of silence: The untold story of German-American internment
by Deborah McCarty Smith
More than fifty years have passed since the beginnings of the arrest and internment of European Americans in the United States during World War II. For the most part, the history of internment has been either quieted or distorted. For example, the majority of the best-selling collegiate and secondary school history texts in the United States claim that, unlike Japanese Americans, the German and Italian Americans were not arrested and interned; and both the print and electronic news media have propagated this myth.
56% of all internees (14,426 of 25,655) were Europeans and European Americans--Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, even several Czechs and Poles.
The arrest of Germans, German Americans, Italians and Italian Americans began on December 7, 1941--four days before the U.S. was at war with Germany and Italy. [Source: ibid.]European and European Americans were kept interned until July 1948--more than three years after the war in Europe had ended.
Europeans and European-Americans accounted for 56 percent of all internees during World War II, according to Arthur Jacobs, co-editor of World War Two Experience: The Internment of German-Americans. In all, some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
"Do we really learn from our past?" John Heitmann wonders, tracing parallels between the internment of German- Americans in the '40s and government plans to intern suspected communists in the '50s, Iranians in the '70s and Iraqis in the '90s. In the FBI Filegate flap of the Clinton administration, in current anti-immigrant sentiment, in anti-terrorist legislation that circumvents due process, historians hear ominous echoes of earlier times.
"There are some intrinsic flaws in human nature that reappear and are reflected in our institutions. It's a story of how institutions end up biting people," Heitmann said. "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt," he said, acknowledging a professional curiosity that is fueled by a personal quest to discover a part of his family history that is buried under years of silence.
"Self-identity is an important purpose of history. It's a handle or fulcrum of how you understand yourself better. We're all a product of a complicated past. I see this as an example of what anyone can do: history as a process of self-discovery."

We miss our friend Monica Sone
I'm Reni,
Our very beloved first Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor Member, Monica Sone passed away on September 5, 2011.
Author Gwen Grant shared her thoughts but we got so many touching messages from our international Betty MacDonald Fan Club members. Here are only some examples to show how people feel.
David, author, Japan:
It is indeed sad news. Monica Sone touched many people in her life.
Blessings, David
Lorinda, Washington State
It is very sad to hear that Monica Sone passed away.
I did not realize she had a Masters in Clinical Psychology - that is really interesting.
I suspect her intelligence was put to good use in that field and she helped a lot of people during her lifetime.
Maybe you could say she took the lemons life gave her and made lemonade!
Yours,
Lorinda
Janet, author and journalist from Seattle:
I look forward to reading Monica Sone's very important book NISEI DAUGHTER as I had friends who were also sent to those Japanese internment camps.
What a terrible thing my government did to those people!
One boy in my school class was sent there along with his family. Such a shame.
Many years later, my classmates and I were able to locate him living in another state and invited him to our class reunion. He accepted our invitation and even gave a little speech about his experiences.
It was wonderful to have him with us again. I have written several articles about him.
Many best wishes, Janet
Linda, USA:
I enjoyed Monica Sone's book Nisei Daughter very much.
It was a fascinating story of a life long friendship and Monica painted a picture with words.
I learned a lot and am so glad I've read it.
I enjoy any info about Betty MacDonald, her friends and her amazing life.
I wish I had been able to be a part of her world. Her outlook on life was infectious and it reached so many people, decades later her magic is still at work.
You have been a friend for a long time now, so maybe Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit truly lives on.
Linda
We lost our very good friend Monica Sone and miss her so much.
All our love to Monica Sone's family and friends and to our Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club members,
Reni

Monica Sone will live on
Good morning, I'm Desi,
Gwen Grant, beloved author and Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member was sending this message to Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel:
I'm so very sorry to hear about Monica Sone.
I've just been looking again at THE PLAGUE AND I and loving all over again her pared down elegance and gentle personality.
Monica Sone (Kimi) was a person anyone could love and she has had a firm place in my heart since the day I met her through Betty's book.
I not only loved her but admired her so much. Kimi was one of the most memorable characters I have ever met through literature and, of course, she will live on, just as Betty does.
One of the highlights of last year for me was receiving her e-mail and I am so happy to hear that she liked my Christmas story.
Sad news that can only allow us to be glad that any of us got to meet Monica Sone, through the books THE PLAGUE AND I and NISEI DAUGHTER or in real life for it was such a privilege to know her.
Much love,

Gwen Grant, beloved author and Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member was sending this message to Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel:
I'm so very sorry to hear about Monica Sone.
I've just been looking again at THE PLAGUE AND I and loving all over again her pared down elegance and gentle personality.
Monica Sone (Kimi) was a person anyone could love and she has had a firm place in my heart since the day I met her through Betty's book.
I not only loved her but admired her so much. Kimi was one of the most memorable characters I have ever met through literature and, of course, she will live on, just as Betty does.
One of the highlights of last year for me was receiving her e-mail and I am so happy to hear that she liked my Christmas story.
Sad news that can only allow us to be glad that any of us got to meet Monica Sone, through the books THE PLAGUE AND I and NISEI DAUGHTER or in real life for it was such a privilege to know her.
Much love,
Gwen Grant
Thanks a Million dearest Gwen! I love your books and your Christmas story so much.

Monica Sone lives in our hearts forever
I'm Fumi,
As Monica Sone has so many international fans we had some very special Monica Sone Memorial Services in five continents.
Monica Sone will live in our hearts forever.
( see also Monica Sone Fan Club Newsletter September )
Fumi
in the name of the intenational fans of Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club
Monica K. Sone
Age 92 of Canton passed away Monday afternoon in Aultman Hospital.
Born in Seattle, Wash. she was the daughter of the late Seizo and Ben (Nagashima) Itoi.
Monica spent three years in an internment camp in Idaho during World War II, after which she moved to the Midwest where she started her college years. She graduated from Case Western with a Masters in Clinical Psychology. Her professional life as a clinical psychologist and social worker for the Catholic Community League was a deep source of gratification to her.
Monica authored a book, NISEI DAUGHTER, which depicted her life on the west coast and her experiences in the internment camp. At the time of her death, she was writing her second book. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Geary M. Sone in 1998.
She is survived by her sons, Philip G. Sone of Canton, Peter S. (Irene) Sone of Canton, John K. (Mindy) Sone of Akron; daughter, Susan M. (Gary) Davison of Massillon; grandchildren, Andrew (Ashwini) Davison, Mariko Davison and Stephanie Davison.
Funeral services will be Saturday at 11 a.m. in the Wackerly Funeral Home with Rev. David W. Tebbs officiating. A private burial for the family will take place in North Lawn Cemetery following the service. Friends may call Saturday from 10 to 11 a.m. in the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to your favorite charity. Monica was a magnificent wife and mother. Her gentle accepting spirit will be missed by many. For those unable to attend services you may register on line at our 'On Line Registry Page' at www.wackerlyfuneralhome.com

Happy birthday dear Monica Sone
I'm Margit,
Dear Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,
Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member Monica Sone celebrates her 92th birthday on September 1.
Monica Sone is the author of Nisei Daughter. Monica Sone and her family had run a hotel in Seattle before Executive Order 9066 sent all West Coast Japanese Americans into exile.
http://www.washington.edu/uwpress/search/books/SONNIS.html
With charm, humor, and deep understanding, a Japanese American woman tells how it was to grow up on Seattle's waterfront in the 1930s and to be subjected to "relocation" dring World War II. Along with some 120,000 other persons of Japanese ancestry-77,000 of whom were U.S. citizens-she and her family were uprooted from their home and imprisoned in a camp. In this book, first published in 1953, she provides a unique personal account of these experiences.
"Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both fair and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally hilarious."-New York Herald Tribune
"The deepest impression that this unaffected, honest little story made on me was of smiling courage."-San Francisco Chronicle
Wolfgang Hampel, Monica Sone's friend, author of Betty MacDonald biography, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award sent his very special birthday wishes:
Copyright 2010 by Wolfgang Hampel
Happy birthday, dear Monica!
I was rereading your book Nisei Daughter and I have to tell you that I agree with your many international fans. I wished I could read many more books written by great author and unique personality Monica Sone.
I also agree with the New York Herald Tribune review of Nisei Daughter: Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both fair and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally hilarious.
Yes, that's it! Deeply touching, also occassionally hilarious! When I'm reading your great book ( Nisei Daughter belong to the VERY few books I'm reading over and over again ) I'm really deeply touched. I'm with you and your great family. I adore your outstanding book and even much more I adore your unique personality. You are a genius but very human and warm with a deep understanding and a golden heart.
The first time I heard your very warm voice I was lost. To me it's the most beautiful voice in the whole world. Voice and personality fit together in just a perfect way.
Thanks A Million for your friendship.
Although we are far away you and your family are always in our thoughts.
Many hugs and greetings especially from Master Peter to great Lady Monica.
All our love
Wolfgang, Angelika and Peter -
your old Wolf and your many fans worldwide

Betty MacDonald Fan Club art
It's Siv,
Excellent Betty MacDonald Fan Club literature and outstanding art support us to see the positive aspects of life.
Of course I'm thinking of Betty MacDonald's, Mary Bard's, Wolfgang Hampel's, Monica Sone's, Darsie Beck's, Gwen Grant's and Letizia Mancino's works.
I hope to receive more info on artist and writer Eva Vargas.
They are like very good friends and I enjoy them nearly every day.
Today I visited Letizia Mancino's galleries.
When I'm reading Betty MacDonald's descriptions of her cats and I'm looking at Letizia Mancino's cats and islands I can feel golden sunshine even on a very cloudy day.
All my love to our international Betty MacDonald Fan Club Community,
Siv
