did you remember this phrase during the world war 2


" when war is over Japanese language will spoken only in hell "

they(usa) used atom bombs on japan (which wiped out millions of people in blink of an eye which is much more sinister than concentration camps )
 
Micheal's basically right, instead of taking the Japanese who they had the evidence to convict for espionage (and sabotage), they just took all of them. People just lost their heads...

Also, the Trail of Tears was a bad thing, uprooting Native Americans who had every right to live where they were and taking them to Oklahoma is just stupid and genocidal.
 
Thank you for this question. I am Jewish 20 yo. I too do research..As far as I know there was just rumors in 1939 that there was talk of taking prisoners of war by the germans. No one as far as know didnt..But I do know by history The Vatican and the pope all knew very well what was going on. Even your everyday German citizen did not know. They just knew jews and Jehovahs witness were being round up and put into prison. I think they were too intimidated to queston.' Also in 1938 Jews knew somthing was up to where thier lives were jepordized. Many of them including my family lived in Germany and Austria came to the US by ship by the skin of thier teeth. The Nazi part at this time were not fully able to start rounding up people, so many did Escape,including the famous Rothchild. .al tried to get thier fortunes out of germany,my family suceded and were able to live a comfortable life., least Nazis got hold of them. But many were not able to make the escape because of economic reasons, and Jewssthat ha fought in WWI couldnt believe that this alligence that thier life was in lepordy..

We did place the Japanese and some Germans and Italians in concentration camps. However, we had no death camps -- no intention of committing genocide -- and the conditions in our camps were vastly better than those in Nazi camps.

That is not to say that our concentration camps were fair to those people who were sent to them; they were not. However, the difference in degree of error was vast. We responded to the declaration of war against certain countries, and their declarations against us. We did not start rounding up the Japanese or anyone else or persecuting them before war existed, as the Nazis did to the Jews; and, of course, there was no "state of war" between Germany and Jews, since the Jews didn't even have a country but thought they were citizens of various countries in Europe, including Germany.

The Nazis, of course, didn't see it that way.

By the way, the concept of a "concentration camp" was more or less invented by the British during the Boer War in South Africa, though there had been some earlier examples. See below:
 
The Trail of Tears where the Native American populations were rounded up and force marched to Oklahoma. Also the Navajo nations were rounded up and force marched to Ft. Sumner in New Mexico where many died from bad living conditions.
