Concentration Camps In Lord Of The Flies By William Golding

Japanese-American Internment was the relocation of many Japanese-American and Japanese descendents into camps known as “War Relocation Camps” during World War II (specifically after the attack on Pearl Harbor). In 1942, the United States government relocated and interned approximately 120,000 Japanese-American citizens and people of Japanese descent into relocation camps. This internment lasted for about four years, and was backed by the government as well as the president. The last relocation camp was closed in January 1946, five months after World War II officially ended.

“ I think of the close friends who are now at the mercy of the cruelest monsters ever to stalk the earth.” This is what Anne Frank wrote about the Nazis in her diary. Although, the Americans weren’t much nicer to the Japanese. During the 1940’s these 2 groups of people,the Jews and Japanese-Americans, were being discriminated against. Though for very different reasons. Nazi concentration camps and Japanese internment camps were not essentially the same thing because Jews weren’t being treated like people, both camps served different purposes, and the Japanese were not being killed like the Jews .

The Japanese had to go to camps mainly because it was their civil duty. They could not function properly in society because of racism, especially when the Japanese attacked pearl harbor. After the attack nobody trusted Japanese-Americans. The government felt that they needed to protect them from society. Americans had very strong feelings towards these people and there was propaganda made to encourage the withdrawal of Japanese people. Even the creators of looney tune cartoons made an episode of how the Japanese man is a savage and extremely ruthless person to anything. Some episodes were about the Germans as well, and how they train the youth to believe in these horrible things, and growing up

During World War II, Japanese Americans and alien residents were unjustly put into concentration camps. On March 18, 1942, the War Relocation Authority

World War II is the most brutal war in the history of the world. Both the U.S. and Germany put innocent people in internment camps (in the U.S.) and concentration camps (in Germany). Both countries treated both groups differently, but both were the same. The United States gave the Japanese fairly normal lives with the exception of that the Japanese could not leave the “cage”, while Germany gave the Jews next to no rights at all. Japanese internment camps and Jewish concentration camps were the same because each country wanted to be safe from the cause of their problems, both countries were both racist to the society that they put in the camps, and the two countries were both afraid of the other race.

To begin, concentration camps did not originate in World War II. In fact, this idea for a camp was invented by soldiers and generals in other wars that occurred not too many years before The Holocaust. The first concentration was brought up by general Valeriano Weyler y Nicolau in the Cuban insurrection against Spain in 1896. Concentration camps were also used in the Philippine-American war in the first decade of the 1900’s. The concentration camps in these wars just mentioned were used mainly for labor and penal. However, armies weren’t as big on execution as the Nazi’s were. The Nazi’s bumped up the idea of concentration camps to turn it

Hitler put Jews in camps because he hated them, U.S but Japanese Americans in camps because they were fearful. First, I want think about how any other foreign immigrant was being allowed into the country but Japanese Americans. Same with Jewish people they were discriminated for their race/ religion. Next, Nazi germans killed people and Japanese Americans were just help their temporarily. How come the guns at the internment camps were facing inward at the civilians rather than outward to protect their citizens. Finally, Jews were treated as trash while Japanese Americans were treated as individuals at a camp. Both, Jews and Japanese Americans rights were abolished. With no freedom you are not a true citizen any more. Yes, the camps had different levels of harshness but this doesn't mean they weren't treated the same way.

The Holocaust is a horrible time in human history. The leader of the Nazi party and one responsible for the Holocaust is Adolf Hitler. Many authors use the Holocaust and Hitler as a base for their books. One example of these books is Lord of the Flies. The book is set in the middle of World War 2. The book is about children that get stranded on an Island without adults. The children vote for a chief, Ralph. Jack was the competition for Ralph, after Jack lost the race for chief he started his Hunters. This relates to Hitler because people think he went mad because he did not get into his dream art school. They both had a crave for power after they failed. They both had the idea of their of an aryan race.

Reason 2- Another reason that the concentration camps and Japanese Internment camps are completely different is because the motive behind creating the camps was incompareable. Japanese internment camps were created because the United States was scared of connections Japanese Americans might have to the enemy, and the feared for the safety of the country. On the contrary, concentration camps were created out because of Hitler’s pure hatred for the jews. “When Hell asked Hitler what he intended doing if he ever had full freedom of action against the Jews, his response was:"If I am ever really in power, the destruction of the Jews will be my first and most important job. As soon as I have power, I shall have gallows after gallows erected, for example, in Munich on the Marienplatz-as many of them as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged one after another, and they will stay hanging until they stink. They will stay hanging as long as hygienically possible. As soon as they are untied, then the next group will follow and that will continue until the last Jew in Munich is exterminated. Exactly the same procedure will be followed in other cities until Germany is cleansed of the last Jew!" (quoted in John Toland, Adolf Hitler. London: Book Club Associates, 1977, p.116); A quote from Adolf Hitler on his plan to

World War II was a very bad time in American history. In Germany Jewish people were being forced into Concentration Camps. In America Japanese-Americans were Being forced into Internment Camps. Japanese internment camps and Nazi concentration camps are essentially the same thing because both Jews and Japanese Americans had their rights taken away, they were discriminated, and they were dehumanized.

The Japanese internment camps during the 1940s are often likened to the United States’ version of concentration camps. This period of time was one that allowed fear to win in regards to national security. Already targets of immigration quotas and systematic violence and racism, Japanese Americans were the victims of this skeleton in domestic policy during the 1940s. The hypocritical United States was liberating the Jewish people Nazi Germany, but was sending its own citizens, with Japanese heritage, to camps of its own. This stark comparison of two developed and “civilized” countries committing similar crimes to their own citizens presents the question of how and why the United States government sponsored the internment of Japanese Americans.

I am researching concentration camps. A concentration camp is a death camp for Jews, and is a living nightmare for the Jews. The jews were tortured , beaten, starved, and executed in gas chambers. The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined. Usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy. It was a place for torturing Jews. Concentration camps were made to eliminate Jews from Europe. It was a place to torture the Jews with harsh living conditions.

Eighteen million Europeans went through the Nazi concentration camps. Eleven million of them died, almost half of them at Auschwitz alone.1 Concentration camps are a revolting and embarrassing part of the world’s history. There is no doubt that concentration camps are a dark and depressing topic. Despite this, it is a subject that needs to be brought out into the open. The world needs to be educated on the tragedies of the concentration camps to prevent the reoccurrence of the Holocaust. Hitler’s camps imprisoned, tortured, and killed millions of Jews for over five years. Life in the Nazi concentration camps was full of terror and death for its individual prisoners as well as the entire Jewish

The cruel and unruly torture that is done to the prisoners in North Korean concentration camps, are a reminder of the horrors that occurred during the holocaust by the Nazis and other Axis power. In these North Korean prison camps many prisoners die because of mistreatment, and lack of supplies; The United States and South Korea have estimated around 200,000 people imprisoned within many of these North Korean concentration camps. There is also an estimated 400,000 people who have died in these concentration camps from torture, starvation, and execution. North Korea’s Regime which controls all governmental aspects of North Korea created concentration camps for political prisoners and the family member of the political prisoners who have

Although the United States first had internment camps in 1940’s, the appearance of internment camps has occurred in different countries in the past. During World War II, concentration camps were constructed by Nazi Germany to imprison Jews, communists, and any other “threats” to Nazi Germany. Conditions in the camps were horrid, miserable, and inhumane. Prisoners were starved, overworked, beaten, and some were even part of scientific experiments. This cruel treatment of prisoners resulted in millions of deaths throughout Europe. However, the erection of these concentration camps also came at a monetary cost for the German government. The German government spent over $27 billion dollars on not only the concentration camps and war effort, but also on the reparations to families harmed during the war (“Financial,” 1962). The appearance of internment camps during World War II also occurred in Canada. The Canadian government interned
