Full title:Mrs. Kenji Fujimoto, a newcomer to New York City, who formerly resided at the Tule Lake and Central Utah Relocation Centers, is feeding her son Robert in the kitchen of a hostel-apartment which is operated on a non-sectarian basis for newly arriving resettlers by the New York Church Committee for Japanese Americans. Mrs. Fujimoto and her baby came East in March 1945 to join Mr. Fujimoto, who has been employed in New York City for some time as an engineer. Two weeks after the family was reunited, they moved from the hostel to their own unfurnished apartment. The hostel-apartment where they stayed temporarily is located in mid-town New York and accommodates seven persons. Photographer: Ishimaru, Stone New York, New York.
