Well, let's see. The German sent the Jews to camps to exterminate them, to work to death those they did not murder immediately.
The US sent the Japanese to camps to keep them from spying for Japan and from sabotage, and, it was claimed at the time, to protect them from attacks by other outraged Americans. The big difference was that the Americans killed none of their prisoners, had no plans to kill them, and let them go when the war was over.
Can YOU see any difference?

Were the Americans just as guilty as the Nazis during the Holocaust for the treatment of the Japanese Americans following the attack of Pearl Harbor?
No. Not for the camps in which they didn't kill the inmates. You could make a case for the atomic explosions that destroyed two civilian cities, though. After all, they could have detonated an example blast off the coast of Japan and seen if they surrendered then. Or failing that, a blast over their naval fleet out to sea.
