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.

Attack Of Pearl Harbor Was The Spark of Manzanar

The attack of Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack by the Impartial Japanese against the United States Naval base at Pearl Harbor that took place on December 7 1941. This was a great even that ended up leading all Japanese that lived within a certain area in California to be sent off to a camp that is known as Manzanar. They feared that any of the them might of had anything to do with all the chaos that was going on so the government decided they had the right to take away some of the human-rights of the Japanese.  Some of them included their freedom they were not allowed to leave this certain camp even if they didn't feel comfortable with the lack of privacy.
