Summary

  • The Granada War Relocation Center, better known as Amache opened in August 1942 and remained open throughout the duration of WWII until 1945. The name Amache was used after a mail mix-up between the town of Granada and the similarly named Granada Relocation Center. At its peak, the camp housed 7,318 persons. The camp was one of ten in the nation, run by the War Relocation Authority, the government body responsible for administration of the incarceration program, created by President Franklin D. Roosevelts administration under the authority of Executive Order 9066, which followed the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The Executive Order incarcerated some 120,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II following their forced removal by military authorities from the West Coast.
