Manzanar monument Cemetery

This is one the Manzanar Monument that is a cemetery for all of those that died. . The monument’s Japanese Kanji characters read, “Soul Consoling Tower” on the front and “Erected by the Manzanar Japanese, August 1943” on the back. People have stopped by to leave items that include offerings like coins, letters, paper cranes, religious items, and many other stuff. In the back you are able to see the beautiful mountains  The weather like here in Manzanar is always extremely hot during the summer and very cold during the winter. Making paper cranes are one of the traditions of the Japanese which they are very talented in making such beauty with anything like the way they would create very nice pond gardens out of rocks and were capable of making something that seemed like could never be beautiful into a beautiful place.
