Jerome Rohwer Committee is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization. We aim to share with the general public and local communities the experiences of the heinous violation of civil rights suffered by US Americans of Japanese descent and Japanese in the USA during WWII and to preserve and protect the locations of the WWII era US American Concentration Camps for future generations.  The committee embraces protection of civil rights and efforts to prevent and stop loss of civil liberties by other groups.

Preserving history and educating citizens about the dark days suffered by Japanese and Japanese Americans living in the USA during WWII

Two barracks at Rohwer Concentration Camp.  In front of the barracks are two poles decorated with leaves, so they look like trees.  Between the trees is a banner that states "Welcome Jerome"
Rohwer Welcomes Jerome. When Jerome Concentration Camp closed, the first of the ten to close, inmates were moved to other camps. Many were forced to move to Tule Lake, because they answered "no" to at least one of the Questions 27 and 28. Many chose to move to neighboring Rohwer. The Rohwer Camp put up the "Welcome Jerome" sign to welcome their neighbors.
