There is no evidence of such a thing. Several extremely conservative talk show hosts, including Glenn Beck, and politicians such as Michelle Bachmann, have posited the idea that Democrats and President Obama are planning to put dissenters in internment camps, but this is political rhetoric at its worst. It is false, and there is not a shred of evidence to support it.
Addendum:This particular conspiracy theory started at least during the administration of George W. Bush. The likelihood that such a plan could have survived through the eight year administration of our last republican president, and then through the last four years of our current democratic president is laughable. Perhaps it is time to change the tinfoil hat.
Wee website: Japanese-American internment camps.
We had "interment camps" (as if calling them internment camps was somehow better) for people of German descent, then when Italy joined with the Nazis we started going after them, and lastly people of Japanese descent. The U.S. had their camps too, but either way it was a disgusting and dark chapter in our collective histories.
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. FDR said it was a day that will live in infamy. On December 8, 1941, the US declares war on Japan, Germany, and Italy. Franklyn D. Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, allowing Japanese and Japanese American citizens to be put in internment camps in California, Oregon, Washington, and Arizona.
The American government feared that Japanese-Americans could spy for the Imperial Army, so they held them in internment camps.As to why the government feared that Japanese-Americans would spy, it came down to racism. Asians were viewed with much more suspicion and were considered a lesser race at the time. Which was completely unfounded, but it was the attitude the mostly-white US at the time. (As a note, remember that there were actually far more German- and Italian-Americans in the United States at the time, none of whom were interned in camps).
Reflecting back on WWII some of the most atrocious violations of human rights were going on. Wether it was the treatment of Jews in Nazi death camps as a part of the holocaust, the internment of Japanese Americans on American soil, or the occupation and destruction by armed forces human rights were secondary to the primary objective of winning the war.
they knew a minimal amount, apart from those who had first hand experience.
By Adolf Hilter, He decided to build the Nazi camps but it was people who were going to be in it akak Labout workers who actually built the camps.
no, there was nothing illegal about the camps, many counties employed them (including the USA), it was what was going on in them that was wrong.
No. Most Jews were unaware of the existence and purpose of the Concentration Camps and the Death Camps.
