Sook Han (Jennie) WU
1940 from Zhongshan, China
After traveling on a ship by herself, eleven-year-old Sook Han Wu was held on Angel Island for three weeks. One night she woke up to find the women’s dormitory on fire. Sook Han grabbed her belongings to escape and then returned to drag her bunkmate to safety. Sook Han worked thirty-five years in San Francisco Chinatown’s Far Eastern Bakery.
