In the past, busloads of former detainees have attended. But this year only two people who had lived here could make the trek: Mr. Fuchigami and a woman named Jane Okubo.多年来，每到5月的倒数第二个星期六，曾经被关在阿马奇集中营的人都会到这里来，在沙地上颠簸行进后，分享他们对铁丝网内生活的记忆。过去，曾被关押的人员会一车车地聚集到此。但今年，只有两个当年的居民能够踏上这趟旅程：一个是渊上，另一个则是名为简·小洼(Jane Olubo)的女士。“We’re
