How did the concentration camps in America differ from the camps in Germany?
German concentration camps were mostly extermination or death camps designed to murder the inmates, primarily Jews. Some camps also sent out inmates to be used as slave labor. All the German camps were operated in total violation of international law and well outside all standard norms of behavior. The American camps were not "concentration" camps, but internment camps for Japanese, German & Italian nationals, as well as several thousand Japanese-Americans citizens and Japanese legal aliens from the west coast of the US. In accordance with international law, those foreign nationals from enemy countries (in the US when the war started) were interned in the camps only as long as the war lasted, and were freed at the end of the war. Unfortunately there are many myths and misconceptions about the relocation and internment of Japanese in the US. Japanese-American citizens and legal aliens were not relocated from Hawaii, the mid-west or the east coast of the United States. Only those living in the west coast areas were subject to this government action. Japanese-Americans were released from these camps based on various criteria, some well before the end of the war, others later near the end. Most of the Japanese-Americans that were interned the longest were from families that were unwilling to swear allegiance to the United States. Internment was based on the US government suspicion that many of the Japanese in America as legal aliens were loyal to Japan not the United States. In fact, a minority of those interned were vocally pro-Japanese and anti-American. Many Japanese-Americans volunteered to serve in the US military during the war. If they were currently interned, then they were permanently released to serve. The volunteer rates of those inside the camps was actually lower than from those Japanese-Americans outside the camps. In any event, it was not the policy of the US government to mistreat the internees. In fact the internees were generally well treated and cared for in almost all cases. The US court system had ruled in WW2 that it was legal for the government to take this action. Regardless, the Japanese-American citizens believed that the idea was wrong for them to have been sent to the camps in the first place. They petitioned the US government for compensation after the war. Eventually the US government apologized and paid some compensation to former internees, but the bitterness would remain for many.

What happen to the Japanese - Americans during World War 2?
Due to fears of spying and sabotage, there was a general relocation and internment of approximately 110,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese-Americans to housing facilities called "War Relocation Camps." Those living in militarily important areas of the Pacific coast were removed from their homes and placed in the large, guarded camps in remote desert areas. While not overtly mistreated, most internees suffered from inadequate facilities, shortages of food, and limited medical care.Despite this, some eligible internees join the American military. Many joined the 442nd Infantry Regiment, a highly decorated unit of Japanese-American soldiers.After three years of mostly negative court decisions, the US Supreme Court declared that the involuntary detention was unconstitutional, and the citizens were released from the camps, most by mid-1945 as the war with Japan neared its end.
