Over 100,000 loyal, patriotic Americans were placed in concentration camps, hastily put behind barbed wire and watched by armed military soldiers in guard towers day and night for over three years. No charges filed. No hearings held. Eight camps were erected in desolate, desert type lands in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. Two other camps were located in swamp type lands in Arkansas. The camp in Colorado, holding over 7,500 inmates, was officially named Granada Relocation Center but unofficially called Amache. The Amache story needs remembering or it can be repeated with other Americans. This is the Amache story.
