A European American nurse checks the throat of a woman with shoulder-length hair, Mine Okubo, in the laundry building at Central Utah Relocation Center, also known as Topaz, during World War II. Mine opens her mouth as the tall nurse sticks a tongue depresser into her mouth and shines a flashlight down her throat. An older woman watches in foreground right as well as little boy waiting in line next to woman at left. A man holding a blanket sits at a table watching in background.
