We are actively working to preserve the physical artifacts as well as the stories and memories of life in one of America's concentration camps located at Poston, Arizona. It was named "Poston" or the "Colorado River Relocation Center", located on the Colorado River Indian Reservation during World War II. The Poston Community Alliance is a 501(c)(3)non-profit group.
In the background is the Poston Post Office in the center,
and to the left is the Relocation Office Building.

I am not 100% certain, but the man in the middle row second from the right looks very much like my father, Ben Furuta. Since this pic is from apparently Camp 1, this may be in error as I believe we were in Camp 3. The date would be important as we left Poston in May or June of 1943.
