Most camps were very hard to live in. People had small houses that could have anywhere from 1 to 3 families living in them. Most camps had very little food that was given out to people in very small amounts for 48 cents per meal. Because of this, many people were malnourished.
When they were brought to the camps, they could only bring what they were wearing and what they could carry. Many lost possessions and many could not keep their homes or farms.
Compared to POW Treatment
Nobody was tortured in the US camps where Japanese people were held during the war. Nobody was beaten to death, nor were they forced to work as slave labour. Nobody was executed for being "lazy". Nobody went blind from vitamin deficiency, or lost a leg to gangrene.
The American, British, Canadian, Australian, and Indian soldiers who were prisoners of the Japanese government WERE beaten to death, and starved to death, and worked to death, and so were the civilian women and children that were also captured by the Japanese army. The difference in treatment was huge and the number of western POWS who died in Japanese camps was a disgrace.
And here is more input:
The United States government actions were un-American and more importantly unconstitutional, regardless of the ruling of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black.
Even though the Japanese-Canadians had every right in Canada, the Canadians just decided on the color of their skin and sent them to interment camps. The Japanese were considered "enemy aliens."This actually preceded the acts of the US in February 1942, which interned most of the Japanese-American citizens who lived on the US west coast.Canada had already declared war on Germany in 1939.
Many Japanese Americans were segregated into private communities after the attack. This mostly occurred on the west coast since it was closer to japan. The government forced these Japanese Americans into camps where they could monitor them due to the paranoia after the attack.
Once the Nazis invaded Holland, the Jews were rounded up and deported to concentration camps to be exterminated. They were gassed, beaten, starved, infected with diseases, and separated from family
Because america was in war with japenese and once the americans captured the japenese,they putted them into concentration camps _________________________ Japanese Americans were easier to identify than German Americans, so they could be interned easier. The US had a history of racism, especialli against Orientals, 1882 the Asian Exculsion act took away citizenship and all right of ownership from all Oriental Americans, the internent was just another part of the process.
When the Nazis came to Holland the city of Rotterdam was almost completely bombed away. Also, the Nazis deported all of the Jews to concentration camps throughout Europe to be killed. They were gassed, beaten, starved, killed of diseases, and separated from their families.
During World War II & the war with Japan, many Japanese-Americans were put into Internment Camps. This was a huge human rights violation. Once the war was over, the president of the United States of America publicly apologized for this violation.

Everyone in America was suddenly afraid of innocent Japanese Americans. They became outcasts with little money and no one willing to help. Soon the US government forced all Americans of Japanese descent to go into concentration camps, miserable places where they were forced to stay. They were in the camps for many year (for more information try reading Farewell to Manzanar) and once they were out they were still strongly discriminated against.

We got involved because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii for no reason. We really declaired war to fight the Japanese, but once we saw the horrors of the Nazi takeover, we decided to help liberate the concentration camps.

they were only separated in the camps, as before then it was easier to manage them whilst keeping them together, but once in the camps it was easier to manage them apart.
Listen to a japanese song and listen to it. Once you listen to it you will get the hang of it and you will sing it. : )
Once they arrived at the camps the people were separated into groups. Men and women were separated and many couples never saw each other again. They were tortured, treated like slaves and prisoners, murdered, experimented on, beaten, and made to lived horrible lives where they were starved, freezing, and made to watch each other die.
because
Any age including babies but once they got their they were killed the likely ages of people working in the camps is from age 13 or 14 to atleast mid 40s year olds
