Over 7500 Japanese Americans were interned in the Granada War Relocation Center.

After the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941, roughly 110,000 Japanese-Americans were relocated to internment camps across the United States. Colorado Governor Ralph Carr fought to bring a camp to Colorado, where he felt its internees would be safe from harm. The Granada Relocation Center, more commonly known as Amache, held 7,567 internees - making it the tenth largest city in Colorado.

What we learned about the Granada War Relocation Center

Many people did suffer being at the Granada Relocation Center. Every day of their life it was hard but also around 110,000 people or 120,000 people were there every day. Around 7,350 people died so not everyone came out alive and everyone wasn't happy. Their new life style sitting in a relocation center for three years must have been hard for all of the. It was difficult for every single one of them because they were there for three years saying every night, how long are we going to stay?

"We're dying off," said Ms. Okubo, 71, who lives in Sacramento.

The two were accompanied by a group of about 70 others who had come to support them. During a luncheon, an organizer asked Ms. Okubo to speak about her detention. "I don't have any memories," she said apologetically. "I was born here at Amache."

Amache was the smallest of 10 internment camps, reaching a peak population of just over 7,000. In recent years, bigger camps like Tule Lake (which grew to a population of 18,789) and Manzanar (which had a peak population 10,046) have received large numbers of visitors, and their stories continue to be recounted in classrooms and in books like the 1973 memoir "Farewell to Manzanar," by James D. Houston and Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston.

But few in Colorado even know Amache existed. The lone comprehensive book on the camp is out of print. And survivors say that as they age and their peers die, their experiences are falling deeper into the footnotes of history.

Amache (pronounced ah-motch-EE) sits at the edge of Granada, a farming community of 500 people. It is a four-hour drive south from Denver, through ranch land and past gas stations.

The camp was named for a Cheyenne princess who had married a local cattle baron, and it was also known as the Granada War Relocation Center.

Today, the space where its residents once lived is an unruly carpet of prickly shrubs and wildflowers that is dotted with hints of its past life: shattered porcelain, exposed rebar, slabs of concrete and the occasional ribbon of barbed wire.

There are almost no buildings. When the final detainees left on Oct. 15, 1945, the camp's roughly 550 structures were auctioned off and moved, dispersed just like their inhabitants.

Many residents, like Mr. Fuchigami, had come from California.

Mr. Fuchigami, who now lives near Denver, was born in the United States. He was 12 when his family of 10 people left its walnut and peach tree farm outside Yuba City. The family leased - and later lost - its farm to a white man, and took up residence in two rooms in 7G.

A naked bulb hung from the rafters of each tin-walled space, and during the first winter the temperature dropped to 22 degrees below zero.

In some ways, the detention camp operated like a typical American city. There were schools, a fire department, a Boy Scout troop and a semiweekly newspaper. It had businesses for detainees and contributed to several industries at large, including pumping out thousands of war propaganda posters. The camp even had its own football team, the Amache Indians.

Four hundred fifteen babies were born. And nearly 1,000 residents entered military service, the highest percentage of any internment camp, according to Robert Harvey, the author of the out-of-print book, "Amache."

"But it wasn't freedom," Ms. Okubo said. "To be swept up and have two suitcases of stuff, and go to an area you've never known before, with the sandstorms coming through the cracks."

Mr. Fuchigami recalled the armed guards, and the floodlights that interrupted each night's sleep. At Amache, he said, he became intensely jealous of a kite he had fashioned from sticks and newspapers. "A kite can fly wherever it wants to go," he said, noting the way it soared over the barbed wire as he remained inside.

"There was always this feeling," he said, "well, what are we in for? Why are we in here? What are they going to do to us tomorrow or the next day?"

Mr. Fuchigami has attended the pilgrimage each year since about 2006. This year, he was accompanied by his wife, daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, Sejal Gordon, 10. He was determined to show Sejal the camp.

It took them nearly an hour - and the assistance of an archaeologist who just happened to be passing through - to identify the spot where he had once slept.

"This wind is very familiar to me," he said, standing by the remains of the barracks as gusts blew through his white hair.

Amache, while not nearly as well known as camps like Manzanar and Tule Lake, in California, has not been entirely forgotten.

John Hopper is a teacher, a sports coach and the principal at Granada Public Schools. In 1993, he decided to make a class project out of Camp Amache.

Since then, his students have interviewed former internees, gathered documents, excavated portions of the camp and built a small museum, often partnering with other groups. In 2006, the site became a National Historic Landmark.

One of the students' most ambitious projects involves chasing down the camp's scattered buildings and returning them to the camp. In 2014, they helped bring back a water tank and reconstruct a guard tower.

This June, they will lay the foundation for a barracks building they plan to move from a farm in Stonington, Colo., about 60 miles south.

The goal, said Mr. Hopper, 52, is to create a museum where people can sleep over and experience camp life. "You need a building so they understand what it was like," he said.

A lack of funds, however, has slowed its completion. Much of the money for the project has come from those who once lived here, and he hopes to have it ready before the last one dies. "We've been chomping at the bit," he added. "We're running out of time."
