TL;DR Summary

The former Camp Amache in Colorado, which once held thousands of Japanese Americans during WWII, has been reopened as the newest national park nearly 80 years after the war. Visitors can explore historical buildings and a cemetery, and a service will help family members locate the barracks of former detainees. The move comes just before the Day of Remembrance of Japanese American Incarceration, and officials hope the site will help tell a complete and honest story of the nation's history.
