“Amache,” by Robert Harvey (Hawes & Jenkins) Some 30 years ago, Douglas County teacher Robert Harvey wrote “Amache,” an extraordinary book about the World War II relocation camp near Granada.  At the time Harvey did his research, few Coloradans had heard of Amache or, indeed, knew anything about the federal government’s policy to incarcerate West Coast Japanese-Americans in prison camps. Amache, by Robert Harvey (Hawes & Jenkins) “Amache” helped to inform them.  And thanks to interest in the book and the Colorado camp itself, the site was recently designated a national monument.
