The Livingston Dodgers
Amache Internment Camp

These photos from a Japanese-American WWII internment camp have been recently uncovered. Any picture taken by a resident is quite rare, cameras were considered to be contraband, and were not usually allowed by the authorities. Shown here are the Livingston Dodgers, a California team spending the war in Colorado

"Sometimes the ball would go through the fence. If we looked like we were going to go after it, the guards would point loaded rifles at us and yell at us to get back. I really resented being cooped up and not having the freedom to even chase a ball." - Amache resident Tom Shigekuni in Robert Harvey's Amache: The Story of Japanese Internment in Colorado During World War II
