The National Park Service is painstakingly re-creating and restoring the Manzanar camp used for Japanese internment during WWII.
"The return of the weathered mess hall building is a small milestone in a painstaking effort to tell an inglorious American war story: the 1942 roundup of 120,000 West Coast residents of Japanese descent and their internment in government camps... not much was left except memories, some of them good, some of them bad. The National Park Service is slowly changing that, as it gathers the fading threads of the Manzanar story and endeavors to weave them into an enduring public display of America at its less than best."
