27 Cemetery

FIFTEEN OF THE 150 PEOPLE WHO DIED AT THE RELOCATION CENTER WERE BURIED HERE; MOST OF THE BODIES WERE CREMATED. SIX BURIALS REMAIN TODAY. RELATIVES REMOVED THE OTHER NINE AFTER THE WAR. THE MEMORIAL WAS BUILT BY MASTER STONEMASON RYOZO KADO AND HIS SON LOUIS. RYOZO ALSO BUILT THE SENTRY POSTS AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE CAMP.
