What determined whether someone was moved to an internment camp during World War 2?

There were many reasons why someone was moved into an internment camp during World War 2. In the US, some Japanese people were put into camps because of their descent. In Germany, many Jews, homosexuals, gypsy, and political enemies were put in camps for no reason.


When did Japanese internment camps first start?

Japanese internment camps in the United States began shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The U.S. government, fearing espionage and sabotage, authorized the internment of Japanese Americans in early 1942, with the first camps opening in March of that year. The internment policy led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens.


What was the worst Japanese internment camp?

Determining the "worst" Japanese internment camp can be subjective, but many historians point to the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming due to its harsh conditions and the psychological impact on its residents. The camp faced extreme weather, inadequate facilities, and a lack of privacy, which contributed to a sense of isolation and despair among internees. Additionally, it was the site of significant political tension, including protests against loyalty questionnaires that forced internees to declare their allegiance to the U.S. or to Japan. These factors combined to make Heart Mountain a particularly challenging experience for those interned there.
