It depends on how you spell it in Hebrew:

עֲטָרָה = "corona (of the sun)", "tiara", or "glands (of the penis)". In more religious literature, this form of atara means "crown" or is a metaphor for a person receiving God's glory.

אֲתָרָהּ = "her website"

No it was not - they were American citizens who had done nothing wrong. They were not fighting on the Japanese side during the war. The internment was caused by fear and racism.

Asked by Wiki User

The crime used to justify internment during World War II was espionage and sabotage, particularly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The fear of Japanese Americans being loyal to Japan and a potential threat to national security led to their forced removal and imprisonment in internment camps.
