Rememberance of the Camps

For most Japanese people living in the internment camps, they could continue living their daily lives but they experienced harsh climate, isolation from family and loved ones, a loss of their civil liberties, and harsh living conditions like none other. These people were confined to a living area of a few square miles and their living in conditions were less than suitable and in locations that no one should ever live.

Buzzfeed invites Japanese-Americans to visit the Manzanar Internment camp in CA.

Where they learn that they all have a connection to this camp.

It's more than just a history lesson. It's a part of our own history.

The locations of these camps have proved to be in unsuitable places, for example, Manzanar is in the desert area of central California, Rowher is in the deserted area of Arkansas where conditions are uninhabitable. Most Japanese and Japanese Americans living in the Delta region in early 1940's found themselves relocated to the Rohwer and Jerome Camps in Arkansas. Many Japanese living in the camps faced starvation, sickness, malnutrition and many of them sadly passed away in internment camps.Yet even with these poor living conditions, the Japanese people made the best of the situation they were in.
