The Jerome Rohwer Committee organizes an annual Jerome Rohwer Pilgrimage that honors the thousands of non-convicted prisoners, initiates healing and communication between survivors and descendants of inmates, and provides learning opportunities for participating Pilgrims.
We are currently raising funds for our annual pilgrimage in Little Rock, AR, to be held May 21-24, 2025. Your donations will help us offer complimentary registration for speakers, as well as travel assistance and honoraria. We also plan to offer reduced or complimentary registrations for Pilgrims in need, who are 25 and under, or who are survivors.
The Jerome Rohwer Pilgrimage allows survivors, descendants, and interested parties to learn about and discuss the continuing legacy and aftermath of US America’s concentration camps. One day of the Pilgrimage is a trip from Little Rock, AR to the concentration camp sites, with a program in McGehee, AR, that includes taiko drummers, and a short obon festival to honor the spirits of our ancestors. The 2025 Pilgrimage will have the sacred Ireichō Book featured, with opportunities to stamp the sacred book.
We appreciate your generosity.
