Everyone on Bainbridge Island seems to know about how the Review was the only newspaper in the nation to support Japanese Americans when they were interned during World War II.
On the island, it meant the mass forced removal on March 30, 1942, of 227 Japanese Americans. Days earlier, more than four dozen other Japanese Americans had been arrested by the FBI; or had moved to Moses Lake, which was not in an exclusion zone; or were serving in the military. Two-thirds of those removed were U.S. citizens.
