James Hatsuaki Wakasa was shot dead in 1943, in Topaz, a concentration camp in Utah. Two friends erected a monument for him. In 2021, the Topaz Museum removed the stone and placed it in their museum, without the permission of survivors, descendants, or the Japanese American community. They damaged the monument, and left the site of Wakasa's murder unmarked, filling the hole in the ground with dirt. In his book, "The Afterlife is Letting Go," excerpted in LitHub, Brandon Shimoda writes about what it means to protect a 2,000 pound stone.
