Korematsu Echoing
The "Heart Mountain Relocation Center," (a/k/a the "Heart Mountain World War II Japanese American Confinement Site") in Wyoming, was one of the "relocation camps" built to confine Americans of Japanese descent and Japanese Immigrants during World War II. Some buildings remain on the site.
The "Manzanar War Relocation Center" was another internment camp used to confine Americans of Japanese descent and Japanese Immigrants during World War II.
Today, both Heart Mountain and Manzanar are run by the National Park Service and open to visitors, but it is not clear that they are mere relics of history, symbols of racist, nationalist oppression that will never recur.
