Japanese Internment Camps
After the US was bombed at Pearl Harbor, Japanese internment camps (also called War Relocation Camps by the US government) were set up in parts of Canada and the US. Thousands of Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadians were relocated to these internment camps, which were disbanded in 1945.

What is a similarity between the American internment camps and the German concentration camps?
Both the German concentration camps and the American interment camps had a lot of stock in the fear and prejudice citizens had against the minorities. Obviously, the German government continually stated that Germans were a threat to the Aryan race, but the American media also portrayed Japanese Americans as a threat to the white race. Japanese Americans were put under a lot of the same civil rights restrictions as African Americans at the time, too...
Did the kids in Japanese concentration camps get the 20000 from congress in 1990?

Was there a ccc camp on the gunflint trail?
Yes, there was a camp about 20 miles up the trail from Grand Marais. I worked in the camp in the summer of 1956 when it was owned by the US Forest Service and housed blister rust eradication crews. The camp was on the Brule river and consisted of a number of barracks, a mess hall and a blacksmith shop. There was a large railroad bell with a rope running into the mess hall. The cook would ring the bell to call the workers to eat. I have pictures of the camp but have not been able to paste them into this reply.
鼬, いたち or イタチ, "itachi", is the word for "weasel" and other members of the weasel family such as badgers, ferrets, ermine, stoats and mink.
Where is Camp Lachenwald located?
Hommershausen, Germany just north of Marburg, which is north of Frankfurt. That was until the end of the season in 2007 now it is "a place in the heart" (it no longer exists as an actual camp) Actually it still is a camp, we just had to change locations because the supporting military base closed down, so now it is no longer the original camp, but we now have 2 camps for the overseas Girl Scouts like myelf. Camp Lachenwald (near Ansbach and Illsheim) and Campeggio Bosco Ridente at Camp Darby (military base), located 15 minutes from Pisa. I miss the original camp the most since I have been going to Camp Lachenwald since I was 7

Why were American POW's in Germany not paid for their detainment but the Japanese were?
It is US Policy to pay POWS 'back pay' for their time in POW camps. If it didn't happen, you can generally blame the bureacratic nature of government. While its easy to have a policy sometimes its harder to adminster that policy. For instance, if a soldier is listed MIA, and dies in cativity, the natural process of the government might assume death, and pay the death benefit at the time the soldier was listed as MIA without ever really knowing the soldier WAS a POW. Then of course you have soldiers believed dead, who turn up living, now of course they want their back pay, but the government has already paid out a 'death benefit.'
