Manzanar War Relocation Camp
A euphemism for what was done to the Japanese Americans living - sometimes for generations in the Western portion of the United States when war was declared after Pearl Harbor., This camp housed 10,00 people in decent but not ideal housing but it was still a form of prison. They grew 80% of their food! That is the Sierra Nevada range and Mount Whitney in the background the highest in the lower 48 states at just a bit over 14,500. I don’t think the beautiful scenery was any compensation to those folks who were not treated fairly. Many left the camps by joining the army!
