    There was profound racism against the American Japanese both from the society and some government policies. White farmers in the West Coast were highly prejudicial against their Japanese counterparts and the attack on Pearl Harbor offered them an opportunity to condemn and take away the farms owned by people of Japanese descent. Such groups instigated and fully supported the internment camps to enable them reach their objectives.(Trowbridge, 2016) After receiving contradictory advice and popular opinion, President Roosevelt signed an executive order in February 1942 authoritatively mandating the Relocation of all Americans of Japanese ancestry to what would become known as Internment Camps in the interior of the United States. Evacuation orders were posted in JAPANESE-AMERICAN communities giving instructions on how to comply with the executive order.

    The Japanese internment camps were horrifying during this time, but everyone was willing to look away because of what the Japanese Government had done. This was unacceptable accusations by a hypocritical government, because at the time America was fighting Germany and claiming they were wrong for Jewish internment camps. Of course, Jewish internment camps were very inhumane, and a mass number of Jews were exiled. America’s logic on Japanese interment was subtle but no one really asked to look behind the scenes. All the things we see in Jewish internment such as German Guards, Barbed wire fences, huts that weren’t anywhere close to homes, and rations that were very limited can all be found in America during WWII with Japanese internment camps.

    To be stripped of freedom for the sake of accommodating those who are prejudiced against one’s heritage remains an unjustifiable action. Although oppression remains a sensitive issue in society, one must not silence the history of its existence as humanity must learn from its mistakes.

Thus, the methodical location of Japanese Canadians into internment camps during World War II was unjustified.

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.
