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 Grenada for an impactful historical experience.
