Narelle Pigram

Narelle Pigram lives in Broome in Western Australia with her three children – Stella, Samson, and Atlas. They are fifth and sixth-generation Nikkei. Narelle’s great- grandmother’s family operated a laundry business in Broome until the outbreak of World War II. When the war began, the family were interned at Tatura Internment Camp 4. Although they felt confused, disappointed, and angry about their internment, they were grateful to have been kept together in one camp, knowing that many others were not as fortunate. In some cases, families were separated, with husbands and fathers sent to different camps.
