He was a Quaker and his wife Madeline was a Methodist. In his book "Comfort all who Mourn" (published in 1982) Herbert Nicholson explains how he became pastor of a Japanese American Methodist Church in West Los Angeles and was pastoring that church when Pearl Harbor was attacked on Dec 7 1941 (Page 74-75). Initially during the war he represented the “Friends Service Committee” as he went from camp to camp to aid the internees, but it got too hot and relations with the Friends Service committee was severed “with no hard feelings”, probably in 1942 (see page 104). His book covers the period of being a Friends Missionary in Japan prior to WWII, his service to the internment camps during the war and his post war “Uncle Goat” period as well as his testimony at the Redress Hearings. A great read, whenever I read it I still cry. What a wonderful couple they were. For anyone wanting to understand the internment of Japanese Americans in 1942-1945 this is a must read.<br /><br />Reference: “Comfort all Who Morn” wrote by Herbert Nicholson and Margaret Wilke Published by Bookmates International, 1982. Library of Congress Cat number 81-71161. It was also translated into Japanese and published in Japan, but I do not have that information at my fingertips.Lyle Bortonnoreply@blogger.com
