Differences Between Fear And Nazi Concentration Camps
Death versus fear are they the same thing? There are many differences between death and fear. The Japanese Internment Camps were for fear and the Nazi Concentration Camps were for death. So the two different camps were not the same thing.
America had the camps because they got attacked by the Japanese. President Ford said that he did this because they didn’t want to get attacked again. So they relocated the Japanese more inland.The second reason is they sold all of their farms because they didn’t want them to spy and give information to the Japanese. The third reason is they moved the Japanese away from military places. They did that so the Japanese couldn’t destroy the army places.
Another reason the camps are different is that President

    Japanese internment was justified because the United States needed to protect its national security. “Our shores were threatened by hostile forces” (Doc D Par 1). America had a great fear of the invasion of our West Coast. The Japanese were living near large oil wells, shipyards, vital aircraft plants, and naval bases. Japanese fisherman had several opportunities to watch the movement of our ships. It was our country’s executive decision to allow Congress to determine that our military leaders would have the power to segregate the Japanese from the West Coast temporarily (Doc D Par 2). Espionage was a major threat to America's national security. Many Japanese-Americans would leave the U.S., move to Japan to get their education, then return…

    During World War II, a time of confusion and fear settled around America. Previously respected and average everyday citizens became feared and outcast by most people in the United States. “All citizens alike, both in and out of uniform feel the impact of war in greater or lesser measure (Justice Hugo Black).” The government declared that all the people of Japanese descent living along the Pacific coast be sent to live in concentration camps where the living arrangements were not the most pleasant and were overcrowded.…

    The internment camps required relocation but the U.S. did attempt to save their property as reserved for when they are out of the camps (Doc.4). No camps were established on the eastern coast where Japanese Ancestry is comparatively small and the only danger along that coast was Germany and Italy, while Germans and Italians did not receive internment camps this was because they had not just committed an act of war for no apparent reason. The attack of the Japanese had damaged the military severely which brought shock, fear, and possible rash decisions that at the time were for the best given the circumstances and the Japanese stereotype(Doc.6).…

    WWII was a war fought between world powers. There were many acts done to people that were inhumane; the torturing of minority groups was commonplace practice during WWII. One minority group that was targeted was people with Japanese ancestry. America was at war with Japan. The American people as a whole feared that Japanese Americans would become spies for Imperial Japan, so they ripped them from their homes and their lives, imprisoning them in internment camps across the United States without a trial for crimes they feared they might commit.…

    “A special bulletin on the radio announced that the Japanese had mounted a surprise air attack on the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii” (Carnes 95). This action against the United States on December 7, 1941 by Japan cause racial prejudice and unrest in the United States. This event also lead to the making of laws that caused the creation of Japanese internment camps. The War Relocation Authority attempted to justify their actions against Japanese Americans in a couple of ways. “The action taken with respect to Japanese in this country is justifiable on the grounds of military necessity for several reasons” (Carnes 97). One reason that is stated is that “All Japanese look very much alike to a white person...” (Carnes 97).…

    Japanese internment during WWII was justified because America feared attacks. “The West Coast was a combat zone”(government newsreel). Because of the recent Pearl Harbor attack, there was much fear of another attack. If the Japanese were to attack again, it was uncertain how the Japanese-Americans would react. They could either side with the US and fight against them, or join their ancestry and join the Japanese. After the attack, major portions of the Pacific Fleet was crippled, and the West Coast was exposed. There were more than 115,000 Japanese-Americans living along the coast. “...racial group, bound to an enemy nation by strong ties of race, culture, custom, and religion along a frontier vulnerable to attack constituted a menace which…

    Concentration camps had gas chambers to kill many people at once. Internment camps did not have gas chambers and were not made to kill people. No jewish people left concentration camps until a army had to come and liberate them. “ The gate at auschwitz said work to be free but no one got out.” People left the internment camps when WWII ended and the US government let them out. Concentration camps couldn't hold all the people the nazi’s brought there. The Nazi’s did this so they could kill the extra Jews that came there. Internment camps could hold all the people that came there. Because Concentration camps were built to kill people the two types of camps are not the…

    With the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in early December, it caused the United States to dive into war. This quickly led American people to believe that there was treachery about with the Japanese. Along with this fear, there was doubt of the loyalty of those Japanese-Americans that were currently living on the west coast. President Franklin D Roosevelt signed an order in February 1942 stating that U.S. Military was allowed to exclude any and all persons from certain areas of the U.S. as necessary. This removed any Americans with Japanese ancestry from the West Coast, placing them under armed guard, otherwise known as internment camps for up to four years. The Military justified their actions for these internment camps by claiming that there was a danger of those Japanese descent spying for their country. The U.S. Military used the threat to the American people as their justification for the internment camps, but the Executive Order 9066, the order that Franklin D Roosevelt signed in 1942, was used as the Constitutional Justifications for creating the internment camps.…
