Thanks for attending the pilgrimage and sharing your reflections. It is such very important to remember this history and share with as many people as possible so that we don’t forget and can work together to ensure this does not happen again.
However, the main camps were spread across more states than you’ve mentioned. These 10 camps are:
* Poston (Arizona)
* Gila River (Arizona)
* Jerome (Arkansas)
* Rohwer (Arkansas)
* Manzanar (California)
* Tule Lake (California)
* Amache (Colorado)
* Minidoka (Idaho)
* Topaz (Utah)
* Heart Mountain (Wyoming)
A great website to find information on the Japanese incarceration is densho.org. In addition, to the 10 camps mentioned, there were a number of other detention centers across the country used to incarcerate not only other Japanese but also German and Italians. This page has a map with these facilities.
