Cemetery at Manzanar National Historic Site. The Japanese inscription reads “Soul Consoling Tower.” Fifteen of the 146 Japanese Americans who died at this Relocation Center are buried here. A total of 110,000 Japanese Americans were interned during World War II in camps like Manzanar. After the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Japanese Americans were deemed “enemy aliens.” It was not until 1992—nearly 50 years after the end of the war—that Manzanar was declared a National Historic Site.
