    Very sensitively photographed and put together. The music is haunting as
    well. I would be interested in learning whether you have a particular
    interest in the camp @ Heart Mt. My father’s family were sent there from
    Auburn, WA via Ferndale Assy Center & Tule Lake. FYI an interpretive center
    is being designed & built there with a grand opening scheduled for August
    2011.

    This video brought back alot of memories as I spent part of my childhood in
    the camp from 1942-1944. I also stopped by there in 1962 and met the wife
    of a farmer who was farming most of the site. They lived in a remodeled
    barracks back then. It looks like the farm and they are long gone.

    Howard, I am sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. Thank you
    for responding to the video. For me, it was a very interesting place
    althrough a very sad part of our history. It had to be very hard for you to
    go back there.

    Oops, I mean “Pinedale Assy Center”. Just completed a personal pilgrimage
    to Heart Mt. and the Interprtive Learning Center is a masterpiece of
    telling a complex story very effectively.
