DENVER—The National Park Service has planned a hearing in Denver Monday to talk about the future of the internment camps where Japanese-Americans were forced to live during World War II.
Southeastern Colorado was home to one of the camps. The camp, outside the town of Granada, was home to nearly 7,600 people at one point.
Last year, President Bush approved a $38 million grant program to preserve 10 camps, including Colorado’s. The buildings at Camp Amache were removed after the war but the foundations still remain, as does the camp’s cemetery and entrance way.
