Manzanar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Manzanar National Historic Landmark (better known as Manzanar War Relocation Center) was a Japanese American internment camp during World War II that operated near Independence, California. Located at the foot of the imposing Sierra Nevada in eastern California's Owens Valley, Manzanar has been identified as the best preserved of these camps by the United States Park Service which maintains and is restoring the site as a U.S. National Historic Landmark and a U.S. National Historic Site. The novel Farewell to Manzanar ISBN 0553272586 was written by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston in 1972, recounting her personal experiences in the camp as a seven year-old internee. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Manzanar_National_Historic_Site   (519 words)

Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 543, which will designate the former Manzanar internment camp as a national historic site and will study other locales important to the experience of Americans of Japanese ancestry during the Second World War. Manzanar was the first of the 10 relocation centers and it held 10,000 people from the spring of 1942 to the end of 1945. bss.sfsu.edu /internment/Congressional%20Records/19910624.html   (4651 words)
