Description1 photographic print : b&w;Rows of people seated in open field for an outdoor funeral at Rohwer concentration camp, Rohwer, Arkansas, September 30, 1944. Three men in Buddhist priest attire of elaborately patterned kesa over kimono or koromo sit in front row; one priest holds a fan in front of face. Across the aisle a child stands next to a woman holding a toddler in her lap. Many in the crowd shield their faces from the sun with fans or pieces of paper. People appear to be playing football in the field behind several cars parked at midground behind the crowd. Barracks in distance.
