America's Concentration Camps

Germany is known for the Nazi Concentration camps but America has had her own share of the horrors. In 1942 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order Number 9066, as a result over 120,000 Japanese Americans were ordered to move to internment camps. Within these camps many families were shoved together within horse stalls that had no ceiling, or into racing tracks with very little supplies to live. When the Executive order was administrated many Japanese Americana's had to leave their homes and drop everything they were doing. To even try and comprehend having to leave everything you have worked for and everything that was familiar to go to a camp where you never knew when or even if you were going to leave.

Something that I thought was really amazing was the fact that even though these people where forced to stay in these internment camps they still continued life as much as possible. Japanese Americana's tried as much as possible to continue their education, sports and even formed culture clubs. These people were humiliated daily; pretty much at every meal. Guards would call the internments by playing "Doggie, Doggie, Doggie, Come and get your food." I think that this is ridiculous because it at the basses is just degrading. One issue that has always impacted me about the Japanese Internment camps is there location. Many were located in the middle of deserts were hypocrisy rained king. Many of the guards of these areas would give the interments seeds to grow a garden, or even blankets, but the hypocrisy lies in where they are located. You can not grow edible food with just seeds in the middle of the desert, a blanket for a family of 11 doesn't even cover it. If America forced people into these condition's what else has happened to make the U.S. comparable to Nazi Germany?
