Soul Consoling Tower

The Soul Consoling Tower stands as a poignant memorial at the Manzanar National Historic Site, honoring the Japanese Americans who died during their incarceration at the Manzanar War Relocation Center in World War II. Erected in August 1943, this white concrete obelisk bears the inscription 慰霊塔 ("Irei To") on its front, translating to "Soul Consoling Tower."
