Bak Huen LEE
1937 from Guangdong, China
Bak Huen Lee was fifteen years old when her father sent for her. She was detained for over a month on Angel Island. “We were kept under lock and key; it was like being in jail. They lined us up like convicts for meals and fed us dry olives with sugar. People committed suicide in the bathrooms out of despair. I heard stories of ghosts.”
