A rare set of photographs by Ansel Adams (1902-1984) documenting Japanese Americans interned at the Manzanar War Relocation Center. These photographs are made available by the Library of Congress.
The Rohwer Japanese American Relocation Center in Arkansas is largely lost to history. Between 1942 and 1945, up to 8,000 Japanese Americans were interned at Rohwer—a 500-acre camp surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards. Although most physical remains have been wiped from the landscape, important stories remain to be shared.
