impression did it make? I'm talking about Japanese internment camps, European concentration camps.. any sort of prison like that.

I am wondering what sort of feelings or thoughts came over you when you entered into that situation.

There's been many mass murders, Armenians, Jews, (gays and other christian groups in europe on a smaller scale), the Japense/Chinese internments in the U.S. during WWII.... so I want to include as many of these as possible and try not to leave any possibility out. Thanks.
 
First I cried...then I farted...then I laughed....then I cried again...

But really, I've been to a Japanese internment camp museum in Utah. While it was a great injustice and certainly a blight on our nation's history I just don't think it can be considered in the same light as the genocides you mentioned prior. Those were human tragedies of epic proportions.
 
Near my home is what was once a camp for German prisoners of war who were brought to America after capture, but perhaps you don't mean that. It was not a place of torture, but it is preserved today as a historical landmark.

It is still a sad place to visit.

I don't think I could tour a Jewish concentration camp from WWII. Just watching the news reels about it made me tremble and cry.
