What is a difference between the way Nazi prisoners VS Japanese prisoners were treated in the World War 2 camps?
Aside from things like living conditions, food provisions and killing of prisoners of war, a big difference was the issue of forced labor. Nazi Germany never introduced forced labor for its (Western) Allied prisoners-of-war, while Japan did. A major cause of the very big difference in the general treatment was, that Germany treated captured soldiers simply as people who had fought and lost, while japan considered and treated Allied soldiers who had surrendered as people who had lost their honor and in consequence, any right to humane treatment. This shows in the fact that Germany had signed and largely adhered to the Geneva Convention regarding prisoners of war, while Japan never signed it, except for the treatment of wounded prisoners, the only kind of prisoners who in their view had retained their honor.

What is the similarity between Japanese Internment camps and the Nazi Concentration camps?
Japanese internment camps and concentration camps imprisoned citizens during WWII based on racial prejudice and distrust. Although violating their rights as citizens, the US treated the Japanese relatively humanely, whereas the Nazis treated the Jews and other prisoners as animals. The US did not rent out prisoners as labor, perform biological experiments, or deliberately exterminate prisoners. (Guards did kill and injure several Japanese who violated camp boundaries.) Both systems of camps were involuntary yet (at the time) legal restraints on citizens (though not always for foreign nationals). Both designated certain races the government believed to be "undesirable", "inferior" or "disloyal".
How were the German prisoners of war treated?
By and large, the U.S. and U.K. treated Germans in compliance with the Geneva Conventions. By and large, the Germans treated U.S. and U.K. prisoners with at least minimal decency, allowed ICRC inspections, mail, and packages. The Germans abused and murdered many Soviet and Serbian prisoners. The Soviet Union in general, treated German POWs and Hungarian prisoners harshly and deprived many of them of adequate rations, medical treatment, minimal comfort, but this corresponded to the cruelty, deprivation, and brutality with which the Germans treated Soviet prisoners. The Soviets killed and imprisoned for years after the war many thousands of Japanese POWs. The Japanese were monstrous, murdering many U.K., Australian, Filipino, and U.S. POWs and a large proportion of the Chinese prisoners they took. The Americans and Australians bombed and strafed many of the by-passed Japanese troops in the South Pacific and other areas. Many starved, turned cannibal and died of disease. The Americans took very few Japanese POWs. The tales told by U.S. Marines are ghastly. The Chinese killed many of the Jaoanese POWs that they took. and and mistrated many of the Japanese pri
