Since Aratani was bilingual, he was allowed to leave the internment camp to serve in the Military Intelligence Service, where he taught Japanese to American soldiers. Aratani's biography, "An American Son: The Story of George Aratani," details the losses his family endured during the 1940s.Under his guidance and through his contributions, Aratani helped with the restoration of numerous historical buildings in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo and was key to the creation of its Japanese American Cultural and Community Center. In 2004, at UCLA, he along with his wife Sakaye endowed the United States' first academic chair to study the World War II internment of people of Japanese descent and their efforts to gain redress.".
