A major announcement for Guam today.

The Manenggon Concentration Camp site has been designated as a National Historic landmark

The Department of the Interior Secretary made that designation. 

Now, the site will have access to various federal grants to aid in preservation, education, and tourism efforts.

Guam Delegate James Moylan shared the news Tuesday afternoon stating, “This site personifies both the struggles of our people during the occupation while representing the resiliency of Guam’s greatest population. This designation would place Guam’s story in national history books while providing access to resources to ensure this site is maintained for generations to visit and pay respect to.”
