TOKYO ROSE - Iva Toguri D'Aquino, Montrose Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois - False Accusations after WW2

Invested in new camera equipment; including a gimbal camera stabilizer with an extended arm, which is nice because I can now more easily get really up-close to the gravestone pictures and etchings while avoiding stepping on a person’s burial location. Still a little shaky on this video, was still learning how to use it.

Tokyo Rose was a name given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to all female English-speaking radio broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. The programs were broadcast in the South Pacific and North America to demoralize Allied forces abroad and their families at home by emphasizing troops' wartime difficulties and military losses. Several female broadcasters operated using different aliases and in different cities throughout the Empire, including Tokyo, Manila, and Shanghai. The name "Tokyo Rose" was never actually used by any Japanese broadcaster, but it first appeared in U.S. newspapers in the context of these radio programs during 1943.

The character "Tokyo Rose" – whom the FBI now avers to be "mythical" – became an important symbol of Japanese villainy for the United States. American cartoons, movies, and propaganda videos between 1945 and 1960 tend to portray her as sexualized, manipulative, and deadly to American interests in the South Pacific, particularly by revealing intelligence of American losses in radio broadcasts. Similar accusations concern the propaganda broadcasts of Lord Haw-Haw and Axis Sally. In 1949, the San Francisco Chronicle described Tokyo Rose as the "Mata Hari of Radio."

Tokyo Rose ceased to be merely a symbol during September 1945 when Iva Toguri D'Aquino, a Japanese-American disc jockey for a propagandist radio program, attempted to return to the United States. Toguri was accused of being the "real" Tokyo Rose, arrested, tried, and became the seventh person in U.S. history to be convicted of treason. Toguri was eventually paroled from prison in 1956, but it was more than 20 years later that she received an official presidential pardon for her role in the war.

More on ROSIE THE RIVETER:
Like Tokyo Rose, whose character was a myth, Rosie the Riveter symbolized all US women chipping in an effort towards supporting their country's participation in WW2.
UNLIKE Tokyo Rose, the character of Rosie was originated by at least two notable women; the first was Rosalind P. Walter, who inspired the words of the original song, and second was Rose Will Monroe, who worked at the Willow Run Aircraft Factory in Ypsilanti, Michigan, building B-24 bombers for the U.S. Army Air Forces.

Consider helping support this channel on Patreon. Sadly, sometimes I come across a known grave location with no marker, and sometimes I have bought that person a gravestone. Your donations here can help offset some of these costs. And also you will help support this channel in all other ways. I hope to keep making this channel better and better, and in the process, try to make some of those names forgotten - remembered.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...

This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.

Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
