The Committee organizes an annual Jerome Rohwer Pilgrimage that honors the thousands of non-convicted prisoners, initiates healing and communication amongst survivors and descendants of inmates, and provides learning opportunities for participating Pilgrims.
The Jerome Rohwer Pilgrimage allows survivors, descendants, and interested parties to learn about and discuss the continuing legacy and aftermath of US America’s concentration camps. One day of the Pilgrimage is a trip from Little Rock, AR to the concentration camp sites, with a program in McGehee, AR, that includes taiko drummers, and a short obon festival to honor the spirits of our ancestors. Other programming includes historical sessions, intergenerational discussions, survivor perspectives, social opportunities, future efforts, and more. Learning and open conversation lead to understanding and healing.
The 2025 Pilgrimage will be held April 21-24 in Little Rock Arkansas. Please watch for registration information. For more information please contact us at
