PLN #11
While reading the article "Ruins of WW2" I found many things very interesting. The gist of the article is during world war 2 there was a large mass of relocatement for people of Japanese-American decent. The camps of these relocations are starting to decay all that is left of the Amache internment camp are the barracks' foundations, pedestrian walkways, empty koi ponds and the roads leading in and out of the site. After discovering this Japanese-Americans have decided to protest to preserve and restore these camps which I thought was weird because I thought to them these camps would be bad memories and they would want to get rid of them. The U.S. Congress has agreed to put 38million dollars into the project of restoring the main camp called Amache. What I think matters from this article is that the people that went through the camps and the poor treatment they received there should be repaid and deserve for their camp to be remembered.
