Camp Amache was one of 10 relocation centers established during World War II in the rugged interior West, designed to detain more than 120,000 Japanese Americans -- about two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens.
Abandoned in October 1945, Camp Amache had been razed, its 550 buildings carted off to other military locations, sold to business enterprises and school districts, or simply demolished; nearly five decades later, the land looked almost as it had before the camp was built, a giant sandy rise covered with yucca, sagebrush and weeds.
Camp Amache residents were allowed to leave the compound to attend college and work at nearby jobs, but in order to get clearance, they had to fill out a loyalty questionnaire.
