The purpose of the Japanese-American Internment in concentration camps, not to be confused with the Death Camps of the National Socialist Party (NAZI) of Germany, was to protect the United States from internal sabotage from those within the Japanese American community who would be sympathetic to Japan, our prime enemy during World War II.
