Topaz War Relocation Center - Remembrance

Remembrance

The Topaz Museum (PO Box 241, Delta, Utah 84624) works to preserve important sites at Topaz, and to provide information to those interested in the history of the camps.

The Topaz Museum's mission statement reads:

To preserve the Topaz internment experience during World War II; to interpret its impact on the internees, their families, and the citizens of Millard County; and to educate the public in order to prevent a recurrence of a similar denial of American civil rights.

Famous quotes containing the word remembrance:

    Then I said to myself, “What happens to the fool will happen to me also; why then have I been so very wise?” And I said to myself that this also is vanity. For there is no enduring remembrance of the wise or of fools, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How can the wise die just like fools?
    Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 2:15-16.

    To be a surrealist ... means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.
    René Magritte (1898–1967)

    My love to Hermia,
    Melted as the snow, seems to me now
    As the remembrance of an idle gaud
    Which in my childhood I did dote upon.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
