- During his training in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, Senator Daniel Inouye and other soldiers were invited to Rohwer and Jerome in Arkansas. Inouye describes his shock at learning that Rohwer was not a small community of Japanese Americans as he assumed, but an internment camp with armed guards. This clip is a selection from an hour-long interview of Inouye for the documentary, Time of Fear, which shared the stories of Japanese Americans who were interned in Arkansas during World War II. This interview is a part of UALR's Center for Arkansas History and Culture's collection, "Life Interrupted," which is set to open next year.

THank you my Grandfather was in Jerome
My grandmother was there also .
What was her name? I have 2 yearbooks of my Grandfathers from Jerome. Email me brianfoox30@gmail.com
I was told after making a comment on the framing carpenter of a small house in Dumas, AR that this house was made from the remains of some of the barracks at a Japanese internment camp neat McGehee, AR so it must have been from Rohwer. This was in about 1993.

SuperRacer1, actually Americans really didn't know about Nazi death camps, the discovery of the state of the people there was a shock to the troops discovering the camps.
OK the struggle was real.
The over-reaction of a nation stunned to be at war ... and acting out a clear racism. What happened in these camps has NO COMPARISON to what the Nazis and the Communists did to their people. Nobody starved. Nobody was forced into labor until they died. Nobody was ruthlessly beaten and degraded just for being there. This was a shameful chapter in our history ... and it was a big lesson that we learned ...THAT speaks to he true heart of America.
Tis I, the frenchiest fry.
