“The Children Left Behind: Untold Histories of Japanese Internment in the French Pacific”

 

Sharing episodes from his upcoming book, Voices Beyond the Grave: Japanese Internment in the French Pacific (University of Hawai驶i Press, 2026), Dr. Benjamin Hiramatsu Ireland uncovers largely unknown Second World War histories of Japanese internment outside the United States. This historical exploration centers on France, Australia, and the United States’ classified financing of Japanese internment in the French Pacific islands, namely in francophone New Caledonia and Tahiti, between 1942 and 1946. Informed by rare testimonies from mixed-race Japanese and Indigenous Melanesian children whose fathers were deported from New Caledonia to internment camps in Australia, Ireland recreates the harrowing timeline of their Japanese fathers’ deportation, incarceration, and repatriation to a war-torn Japan. Ireland shares his ongoing global humanitarian project that has reunited descendants of Japanese civilian internees, separated by these atrocities of war, presenting for the first time stories of survival, perseverance, and love. The haunting afterlives emerging from this interdisciplinary project, as Ireland argues, redefine both collective memory and the transnational breadth of Japanese incarceration during World War II.
