What is the difference between an Japanese internal camp and a concentration camp?

The Japanese internment camps were sort of like special prisons for Japanese-Americans during World War II. The camps weren't very nice, nor was being imprisoned in them, but at the same time, the internees were not tortured or otherwise severely harmed. Still, it's not one of America's proudest moments. They were intended to keep Japanese-Americans on the West Coast from assisting the Japanese military if it ever invaded the USA.

The Nazi concentration camps were special prisons that were initially meant to function a lot like the aforementioned internment camps. However, the Nazis didn't wait long to start doing terrible things to the internees, such as using them as slave laborers, performing medical experiments on them, or simply executing them. Unlike the Japanese internment camps, the Nazi concentration camps were intended primarily to get rid of any people that the government didn't like- Jews, Russians, Poles, Romany, homosexuals, political opponents, and so forth.

Why were Japanese Americans forced to move to internment camps in the West?

Is there a camp rock summer camp?

there is no real Camp Rock identical to the one in the movie. However, there are some similar camps that you can attend.

One is Power Chord Academy: It is a music camp for teenage musicians ages 12-18, offering a variety of high-energy, exciting, professional learning experiences.

Our professional instructors provide the guidance, development, and refinement necessary to foster essential fundamental growth and development. During the sessions, our students are given the once in a lifetime opportunity to be a professional musician in which they will gain hands-on technical experience in critical areas such as digital-audio recording, song-writing, and on-stage performance as well as develop an understanding of the determination and dedication it takes to succeed in the music industry today.

This is not strictly a rock camp but also pop or punk, metal or blues.

*Taken From Power Chord Academy Website* Other summer programs where they help you build on your music are held at Berklee College of Music. these programs cover a range of subjects from their Vocal Summit to Songwriting to Music Business to Brass playing to Saxophone playing to music for video games.

If you go to the Berklee website and go to the summer programs you can find out more about all of things they offer.

Keep in mind that all of these programs are quite pricey usually at least 1,000 dollars. Annoying but a harsh reality of life.

Who was sent to the US internment camps in World War 2 and why?

Approximately 100,000 US citizens of Japanese ancestry and also some Germans and US citizens of German origin, and a handful of Italians. It was feared that they might commit sabotage.

_____

Primarily because we were afraid that Japanese-Americans, most of whom were born in the US and were as patriotic as anyone else, would do something bad. It was, unfortunately, all too easy for Caucasian politicians to make the public FEAR an enemy who could be easily identified, and allow their basic human, not to say Constitutional rights, to be abrogated in the name of 'safety' or, 'homeland security'. Thousands of completely innocent Americans were taken from their homes, and locked in internment camps for the duration of the war - and their homes, businesses and other belongings were stolen by the government - not something to be proud of. Of course, it could never happen today... or ...?

_______

Japanese people living in America. The answer to this question is actually surprisingly complex. Internerned during the second world war were Japanese living along the West Coast or National Defense Zone but also German and Italians. Not many people are aware that the United States also convinced many Latin American countries to uproot people of Japanese heritage and send them to be interned in America. It was later discovered that the US Government had intended to use them as bargining chips towards Japan.

Unfortunately, many of these latin American countries did not want them to return and this indeed posed a challenging legal dilemma since they technically became people without official citizenship of any country. All told, the internment process uprooted about 120,000 Japanese Americans while only a fraction of the more than 600,000 Italian Americans were ever interned and the rights of the Japanese were not fully restored until 1946, while Italian and German Americans had their rights restored in mid 1943. One cannot appreciate history unless one accepts that during this particularly murky aspect of American History that racism was an influencial aspect of the political stage.
