Abstract: A friend of ours was born in Topaz. Like many others at the time, her parents had married hastily, just before the forced evacuation, so they would not be separated in different relocation camps. During her three-year stay in camp her mother had carefully saved every issue of the camp journal, ironically titled Trek. When the war was over she could not take the journals with her because the “evacuees” could only take what they could carry, and that was what they had brought with them. So the Trek journals were left behind in the dust of Topaz. She did not need the journals to remind her. But we do.
