How did the concentration in America differ from the camps in Germany?

While supposedly set up to protect Germany from internal threats, Germany's "work camps" (concentration camps) were a front for the extermination of those deemed "undesirable" by the Nazis, mainly Jews. The enslavement of Jews from invaded countries provided free labor for German industry and an efficient system for genocide. By contrast, the American system of "relocation" and "internment" camps were based on fear of those of Oriental heritage (even those not remotely Japanese). The WW II propaganda campaigns were aimed at demonizing and dehumanizing the Japanese enemy, to the point that all Asians became the target of racial prejudice. Many innocent Japanese and Chinese families were forcibly transported to controlled camps for the duration of the war. More than 120,000 individuals from the Pacific Coast, nearly two-thirds of them American citizens, were imprisoned, while comparatively small numbers were detained from among the population of Hawaii.

How were the Japanese in the US affected during the war?

There are numerous wars in history and most of them are irrelevant to Japanese-Americans. Assuming by "the war", the question exclusively refers to World War II, the following is the answer: Unfortunately, racism was a huge part of United States history and Blacks were not the only race to suffer unequal and prejudicial treatment. Asian-Americans did not become accepted as "true Americans" until the mid-1960s. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, many Americans saw the Japanese-Americans as a fifth column. This meant that they viewed the Japanese-Americans as secret spies for Japan and inherently disloyal to the United States. Strangely, from a modern perspective, German-Americans, Irish-Americans, and Italian-Americans, who were much more vociferous opponents of US military policy in World War II were not even considered for discriminatory treatment, showing that this boils down to racism and fear of Asians more than it does legitimate security concerns. In order to deal with this perceived loyalty, the President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. This order was used to round up Japanese-Americans all along the Pacific coast (the largest area of Japanese-Americans in the United States) and place them in internment camps. In 1944, the US Supreme Court upheld the validity of the camps on the grounds of necessary military action. Surprisingly, the Japanese-American response was not to riot or protest, but to actively seek to assist the United States military in World War II. To "prevent" the Japanese-Americans from being in contact with other Japanese, most Japanese-American units were sent to the Italian Front, where some of them earned the highest amounts of commendations and medals. After the war, the Japanese-Americans were released from the camps without any property of money from which to make a living. However, many of them were resourceful and able to sustain themselves in the following decades. In the 1980s, the US Federal Government admitted its wrongdoing and compensated every family that still had a surviving member from the internment camps for this violation of their civil liberties.
