Description
Victoria Colunga (maiden name Saldivar) holds her son Oscar Colunga as they stand atop a hill in what is now called Grand Terrace. During the 1940s the family called this location "Jap Hill" as it was the place where Japanese citizens were held before being sent to internment camps across the state during World War II. The family would often visit this spot for picnics and outings especially after church on Sundays.
