Who did the American government send to the internment camps?
The U.S. sent Japanese Americans to Internment camps, right after Pearl Harbor, so they could keep an eye on them.
Was the US government justified in sending Japanese Americans to internment camps after the attack on pearl harbor?
No, they were not concentration camps as the Germans built. They were Detention camps to keep the Japanese-American people under observation.
What did Japanese Americans lose when they were forced to relocate to internment camps?
They lost almost everything they onwned. They were only allowed to keep whatever they could fit into a small bag (backpack).
What is the difference between an Japanese internal camp and a concentration camp?
The Japanese internment camps were sort of like special prisons for Japanese-Americans during World War II. The camps weren't very nice, nor was being imprisoned in them, but at the same time, the internees were not tortured or otherwise severely harmed. Still, it's not one of America's proudest moments. They were intended to keep Japanese-Americans on the West Coast from assisting the Japanese military if it ever invaded the USA. The Nazi concentration camps were special prisons that were initially meant to function a lot like the aforementioned internment camps. However, the Nazis didn't wait long to start doing terrible things to the internees, such as using them as slave laborers, performing medical experiments on them, or simply executing them. Unlike the Japanese internment camps, the Nazi concentration camps were intended primarily to get rid of any people that the government didn't like- Jews, Russians, Poles, Romany, homosexuals, political opponents, and so forth.
Why does elie get to keep his shoes at the concentration camp?
Elie gets to keep his shoes because one of the German soldiers was in a good mood. The only thing that was certain in Jewish internment camps is that nothing was certain.

What are interment camps?
Internment Camps were camps created by the United States government to house Japanese-Americans during the Second World War. Japanese-Americans were removed from their homes and forced into camps, for the government feared some were spies for the Japanese Empire.
What year did the Japanese Internment stop?
The Japanese Internment Camps officially closed in March, 1946. Over 110,000 people of Japanese descent had been forced to live in the camps since 1942, when President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9060 to imprison them. When it was over, Japanese American citizens were only given $25 and a ticket back to their homes.

Were all concentration and death camps ran by Germans?
No, several concentration camps were run by Canadian and American troops in North America during the war (though they weren't called concentration camps; they were called internment camps). They were established mostly to keep Japanese Americans and Canadians under the watchful eye of the military during the war.

Who was placed you internment camps in the US during World War 2 and why?
Japaanese Americans to keep them out of trouble
What were the really big different between the japenes camp and the concentration camps in wartime nazi Germany?
It is unclear whether you mean the Japanese internment camps in the USA or the POW camps in Japan, as comparisons are often made with both, so i will answer both questions: Nazi concentration camps were camps for civilians, designed to keep certain sections of society out of the way, as were the Japanese internment caps. The really big difference between the two was how people were treated, in the Nazi camps people were used as slave labour and killed, in the American camps people were allowed to live with their families and suffered no greater persecution. Japanese had not signed the Geneva convention (despite what 'Bridge on the River Kwai' said), so felt no obligation to treat the POWs well, in fact they viewed soldiers who surrendered as unworthy, so the felt justified in mistreating the POWs. The really big difference is that they were military institutions.
Why were Japanese forced into internment camps?
The reasons are rather Un-American. The people of the government overreacted and wanted to round up all the Germans, Italians and Japanese to see if they were spies and keep them interned. They did not put the Germans and Italians into camps because famous people told the government people it would be unfair and impossible with the amount of Germans and Italians in the United States. No one spoke up on behalf of the Japanese. So they were interned unconstitutionally and unfairly. They could not understand the Japanese people had no allegiance to Japan and were not spies.
Why did the Americans keep Japanese Americans in concentration camps during World War 2?
the Japanese bombed pearl harbor and we thought all Japanese were evil
