VISITING WHAT REMAINS OF THE Japanese prison camp Rohwer is a sobering and eye-opening experience...

Rohwer was one of the longest-operating internment camps; Between 1942 and 1945, more than 8,000 Japanese Americans were held on its grounds...

Life at the camp was very difficult for the people detained there. The barracks had no comforts, not even running water. The bathroom and kitchen areas were all communal.
