August 14, 2018 is the 75th anniversary of the Manzanar cemetery monument. ⠀ ⠀ “On May 16, 1942, Matsunosuke Murakami, 62, became the first of 150 men, women, and children to die in camp. He and 14 others, most infants and older men without families, were laid to rest in the Manzanar cemetery. The cemetery was outside the barbed wire fence in an old peach orchard from Manzanar's farming era. In the shadow of majestic Mt. Williamson their somber funerals and memorials were attended by hundreds of mourners. ⠀ ⠀ While some deceased were sent to hometown cemeteries, most were cremated. Their ashes were held in camp until their families left Manzanar. Six burials remain today.⠀ ⠀ Visiting the cemetery can be a personal pilgrimage: of reflection, worship, remembrance, or protest. Some people leave offerings: coins, personal mementos, paper cranes, water and sake, and religious items. These are tangible expressions of the ongoing, unspoken conversations about America’s past and its future.⠀ ⠀ The monument’s Japanese Kanji characters read, “Soul Consoling Tower” on the front and “Erected by the Manzanar Japanese, August 1943” on the back.” - [nps.gov]⠀ ⠀ 📍: Manzanar National Historical Site⠀ 📅 : May 2017⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #nationalparkgeek #manzanarnationalhistoricsite (at Manzanar National Historic Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmdiYBcDpbB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jhijl1cypl0b

In February, 1942, following the attack on #PearlHarbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. The order authorized the Secretary of War to, without due process, detain nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans – men, women, and children – in remote, military-style camps. . Ten war relocation centers were built in remote deserts, plains, and swamps, including the area now known as @manzanarnps. #Manzanar is located in #California’s Owens Valley of California between the #SierraNevada on the west and the Inyo mountains on the east. . #ManzanarNationalHistoricSite is just one of the @NatlParkService areas that protect and interpret Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage. This month, and year-round, take time to explore the many stories that weave together our collective history. . #FindYourPark #EncuentraTuParque #APAHM .

#tombstonetuesday Today we aren't featuring one specific stone or person, but rather a memorial to those who died at Manzanar War Relocation Center in #California, now @manzanarnps. The memorial was built In 1943 by internee and Master stonemason for the Los Angeles Catholic diocese, Ryozo Kado, along with Block 9 residents and members of the Buddhist Young Peoples organization. Each family contributed 15 cents to purchase cement for the memorial. The inscriptions on the monument were written by Manzanar's Buddhist minister Rev. Shinjo Nagatomi. The three characters on the front of the memorial translate to "soul consoling tower." On the back side, the left hand column reads "Erected by the Manzanar Japanese" and the right hand column "August 1943." Over 135 internees died at Manzanar, but most were sent home for burial. It is believed that as few as 15 but as many as 80 were buried in the cemetery and according to historical documents, six remain buried there. The others were reinterred in other cemeteries after the center closed. Manzanar War Relocation Center was added to the @nationalregisternps on July 30, 1976 and was designated a unit of the @nationalparkservice on March 3, 1992. @manzanarcommittee #ca #cahistory #SpreadTheHistory #cemetery #cemetery_shots #aj_graveyards #rememberme #grave #graveyard #graveyard_dead #blog #blogger #travelblog #travelblogger #memorial #mementomori #historygirl #history #manzanar #FindYourPark #nps #nationalparkservice #igersca #taphophile #taphophiles_only #wwii #worldwarii #manzanarnationalhistoricsite (at Manzanar National Historic Site)
