Along the lonely US395, in California but on the other side of the mountains, and flagged by a highway sign and some rock pillars is a monument that the US tried to forget

Thousands of Japanese were interred here during WWII stripped of their freedom, their property, their belongings, much of which was never recovered

Most of the site was bulldozed after the war, trying to give it back to the chaparral

Foundations like the hospital here and the cemetery are all that is left

This was Manzanar
