Pros And Cons Of Jewish Concentration Camps

1494 Words6 Pages

World War Two was an extremely harsh and brutal for everyone involved. As many as fifty to eighty million people lost their lives in this time period, for the simple reason that they wanted others to be happy, healthy, and free; or more commonly, they were discriminated against for things they could not control. Soon after the war started, America swooped in with the intent and purpose to distribute equality, freedom, and justice throughout the world where it was not currently readily available (due to the repercussions and new worldviews caused by the war.) At least, that’s what most people think. Much like the cruel and horrific ongoings of what happened in Jewish Concentration Camps created for the Christians, Jews, Homosexuals, and their supporters; America had practiced similar ideals and treatment towards the Native Americans in our country long before this time.

    As opposed to righteous view that America was safeguarding its position in the war, the Japanese American internments were created out of resentment and racial prejudice fostered by other Americans. As the article “Personal Justice Denied” stated, the internments were led by “widespread ignorance of Japanese Americans contributed to a policy conceived in haste and executed in an atmosphere of fear and anger at Japan” (Doc E, 1983).

    Almost all Japanese Americans living on the west coast went to internment camps. Years later, after most internees had passed away, America realized how wrong it really was to intern any innocent person for being from a certain country. They tried to right their mistake and apologize by giving $20,000 to every living victim of internment or direct descendant of a victim. It was a kind gesture, and many accepted it. But America was a little late to realize its wrong doings to Japanese Americans, for the amount of pain the country caused them was great.

    The United States sent armies into the Native American lands, mistreating the Native Americans, and caused trouble against them by sparkling conflicts and wars. “It is not, of course, to be understood that the government of the United States is at the mercy of Indians; but thousands of its citizens are, even thousands of families. Their exposed situation on the extreme verge of settlement affords a sufficient justification to the government for buying off the hostility of the Savages, excited and exasperated as they are…by the invasion of their hunting grounds and the threatened extinction of their game.” (Document 4) The United States government introduced policies for Native Americans to have a better life, but in fact, they kept them in

The United States was launched into WWII on December 7, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

    To start off, Americans weren’t affected by the Japanese Internment Camps as much as Germans, and those in surrounding countries, were by the Nazi Concentration Camps. As said in the American Propaganda Video, Japanese-Americans were, “...potentially dangerous…” and that the relocation of them was, “...with real consideration for the people involved.” Most Americans didn’t know the truth about the Japanese Internment Camps so they were, if anything, comfortable with the decision. However, this wasn’t the case with the Nazi Concentration Camps. Germans who didn’t remain loyal to Hitler were sent to a Concentration Camp, leaving thousands of Germans living in fear.

    Hitler's scorn of the Jews was profoundly felt and wasn't only for political convenience. By differentiation, Hitler's denouncement of homosexuality seems to have been politically spurred (to legitimize the virtual execution of the leader of the SA, who was straightforwardly gay person). Be that as it may, quite a bit of Hitler's composition, both open and individual, continues returning to the Jews. Some of it demonstrates a feeling of individual repugnance. A great deal of what you see in Mein Kampf assaults Jews and Judaism way past what was basic for most Germans of the time.

    World War II had lots of hard work to be done, and most of it was taken out on Jewish and Japanese people. The Japanese were put into internment camps, and the Jewish people in concentration camps. Not only was it the Jewish people, but people with mental illnesses, disabilities, and people who were homosexual. Anyone who was different was put into concentration camps. Even though they are similar, concentration and internment camps aren’t the same because one was out of fear, the other hatred, ‘actions’ versus ‘reactions’, and the Japanese had opportunities, while the Jewish didn’t.

    When many first hear of Holocaust denial they assume one is telling them some kind of poorly-written joke. However, much to the dismay of most with an education, holocaust denial is very real. Holocaust deniers defend themselves by saying it's a matter of free speech, that if treated with intolerance it is an infringement on the freedom of speech. However, this is far from the case and story. Holocaust denial is an attempt to reject the horrors done against Jews, as well as other minority groups, and to discredit historical realities, not an issue of free expression.
