Japanese Internment Camps

1947. Crystal City, Texas, was the location of the largest internment camp administered by the INS and Department of Justice. November 1, 1947, more than two years after the end of World War II, the Crystal City internment camp closed; the last facility detaining alien enemies to do so. - The Handbook of Texas Online

Order 9066 ended in 1984 with Korematsu vs. US

We're still in exile.

Primarily to "solve the Jewish Question," i.e, to kill all the Jews and other "polluters of the German Volk". . . . Genocide.

Internment Camps were used to confine and isolate people form the outside world.

They believe that the gods created the Japanese land and the Japanese people as distinct from the rest of the world. I don't know if this necessarily meant that the gods intended on creating a superior race, but that's generally how it was perceived. This was their religion and spawned a belief that they were favored by the gods (who among other things would never let them be defeated in battle - a belief that was brought into question after ww2) and were therefore the superior race on the planet. There are other factors; they worked hard to maintain their perceived status and this itself may have had an affect.

Although this may not be believed by all Japanese people today, their traditions are deeply rooted in it. Similar to how many Westerners today don't believe in god, but Christian values still pervade their lifestyle. This is my understanding.

[Kikianswers: This sort of idea is not exclusively Japanese. There are exhibitions of what is called ethnocentrism (Google it) in, if not all, most cultures. This is the belief that your culture is the 'best' or 'right way,' and that other cultures are, unavoidably, lesser. These beliefs have led to global conflict for milennia, not just in Asia.

You fail to specify either a country or a War.

This is what the name "Beth" looks like in Japanese: It is pronounced "BESU". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "U" sounds like oo in hook, but with less rounding of the lips. "E" sounds like e in met.) http://www.japanesetranslator.co.uk/your-name-in-japanese/

There was nothing 'right' about it. The internment was a violation of USA law in that census data was used criminally to identify the Japanese Americans. The internment itself was morally wrong in that it violated American priciples of due process and protection of the laws of the land. This said, war in its nature is full of extremes. All nations involved in war toss out certain rules that would never be considered in peace time. After the war is over, there are always groups seeking compensation and apologies. Once you realize that all wars are a fight between nations for primacy. All nations use whatever means are available to win the fight for national survival. It is not fair after the fact to judge those actions taken during the stress and strain of battle. Instead of looking for bad guys, good guys and bogeymen, the mature way to review history is to realize that all nations strive for power and do whatever they perceive it takes to achieve that goal, even if it means damaging their own citizens.

To apologize is the easiest thing to do if you want to beat your feelings. People find it so hard to apologize because they are so selfish or insecure that they doesn't want to recognize their mistakes. They keep thinking what they do is correct and the opposite person should apologize first, while on the other hand, the opposite person also thinks what they do is correct and they keep waiting for you to apologize to them.

The only way to do this is to beat your selfish feelings and don't ever feel like a loser if you have to apologize first.

At least, they will appreciate your humble apology first.

If they don't accept your apology, I'm sure they missed an opportunity to learn about something valuable in life.

it is and my brothers go there by the way ya lune its spelt

During World War I, Canada established internment camps for enemy aliens, including many German nationals. Approximately 8,579 individuals were interned, with a significant number being German immigrants, as well as Austro-Hungarians and others perceived as threats. Internees faced harsh conditions, and many were eventually released, but the experience left a lasting impact on their communities. In 1983, the Canadian government formally acknowledged this injustice by offering compensation to the survivors and their descendants.

No, it's an all-girls camp.

Yes there were schools in these Interment Camps. However it was only until the later years when they were eventually aloud to get jobs. The Japanese spent there own money and built these schools themselves much like they did everything else they wanted.

My father was an Italian prisoner of war in WW II. He was captured somewhere in Africa and taken to the U.S. and sent to prison camps in Boston and in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When he was in Boston, I know he told us that once in a while the Italian families in Boston would be able to pick them up and take them to Italian dances at the local churches. So I would say that they were treated with dignity and respect, I feel he was very lucky to be captured early on by the Americans, it could have saved his life. My father is 89 years old, and he doesn't talk much about the war. I really should try to get him to tell me more, and I know if I asked him he would tell me more stories.

There are a number of interesting and disturbing factors.

First, most of the Japanese-American internees were American citizens.

Second, the internment was ordered by President Franklin Roosevelt, who was considered to be fairly progressive; he definitely wasn't one in this case. When the case went to the Supreme Court, the court upheld the internment.

Third, there had not been any acts of sabotage or espionage by any of the internees.

Fourth, the internment was only applied along the west coast of the US. There was no internment camps established in Hawaii, despite the fact that there were a great number of Japanese-Americans, and even Japanese citizens, living in Hawaii at the time.

There was a unit of the US Army formed entirely from Japanese-Americans, and mostly recruited from the various internment camps. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, Japanese-American soldiers serving under Caucasian officers, saw service in Europe and was the most highly decorated unit (for its size) in the European Theater. Members of the 442nd earned 21 Congressional Medals of Honor, and earned the nickname "Purple Heart Battalion"

I believe the Casino internment camp was for political prisoners the Dutch evacuated from the East Indies when the Japanese were about to invade during WW2.

I think the Dutch military guarded the camp.

The Dutch government feared the prisoners might collaborate with the invaders and gain skills to be a major rebel threat should the Japanese be expelled.
