Few in the U.S. are aware of the Rohwer and Jerome, Arkansas, WWII relocation centers for Japanese-Americans. The wooden barracks are no longer standing, and in their place are croplands. “Relocation Arkansas” is a documentary film about these centers. Click the image above to see the preview for this film.

Rohwer, Arkansas, WWII relocation center.

The same area today.

Japanese-Americans with roots in Okinawa Prefecture were also imprisoned here. My parents and older sister were sent to the Jerome, Arkansas, WWII relocation center. Much thanks to my brother-in-law, Phil, for sending me the URL for this preview.
