Annual Amache Pilgrimage

May 17 - May 19

Pilgrimages to former WWII concentration camps for those of Japanese descent were started in the late 1960s. It took nearly a quarter-century for former prisoners and their descendants to question why they had been imprisoned and begin searching for answers.

Take a pilgrimage to Camp Amache in Granada for an impactful historical experience.
