Although pets were not allowed in Manzanar during it's operation between 1943-1945, apparently some people managed to keep some pets, and when they passed away, they were buried out on the Western edge of the camp.
Lovingly cared for, thousands of paper cranes can be found at the two or three gravesites at this location, and thousands more that have been caught on the wind and blown across the desert.
