Jewish Concentration Camp Dbq

Both of the camps violated people's rights as citizens. The Nazi and the Japanese camps were illegal and a complete violation of people’s freedom. Both the Jews and the Japanese people were forced out of their homes. Ronald Reagan addressed this when he said, “Over one hundred thousand persons of Japanese ancestry were removed from their homes…” Anne Frank also addressed this in her diary on November 19, 1942, when she stated, “They knock on every door, asking whether any Jews live there. If so, the whole family is immediately taken away.” The Japanese and the Jews were both considered “the enemy”. The Jews were the Nazi’s enemy and the Japanese were America’s enemy. These a good points but they are not strong enough. The camps were both illegal but one is more illegal than the other. The Japanese camps were more illegal because there is more freedom in the U.S. than there is in Germany. Just because the Japanese and the Jews were forcefully take out of their homes, they are not the same thing. This point makes them alike but not the same. The Jewish and the Japanese were the enemy but not of the same people. Despite their differences, the Nazi and the Japanese camps did have quite a bit in common but that does not make them the

Both the Jewish and Japanese camps were discriminatory towards the Jewish and Japanese race. However the Japanese internment camps were put into place out of fear, because Japan dropped a bomb on the United States. While the Jewish concentration camp was put into place because the Jewish “caused” the Great depression. However the camps are similar because they were made for the same reason which was racial discrimination. Both the Jewish and Japanese camp homes were ransacked, and were forcefully put out their homes. Their business were also taken away. Therefore they were put in the camps against their will and were not happy with living there. In both America and Germany the government claimed innocent, when really they were the guilty ones. If it were not for the United States of Germany government the camps would have never been created. Which would have never led to racial discrimination towards the Jewish or Japanese. Many would think that America was just as guilty as Germany, for the only difference is the amount of people killed. Although some if these points are true, they are not strong enough. The Japanese were put into the camps out of fear while the Jews were put into camp for the feeling of ultimate power

Many wars of the 20th Century were caused by leaders aiming to create a so-called Master Race. As a result many millions of soldiers and civilians were killed in conflict. Adolf Hitler, the German Fuehrer, decided that one group of people in particular needed to be eradicated: The Jew. He set up concentration camps and tried to round up all of Europe’s Jews to create “the final solution”. The Jews were either forced to work slave labor, or face extermination if they were too week or unwilling. One survivor of this Holocaust, Viktor Frankl, wrote a work of psychology, Man’s Search For Meaning, that described the horrific conditions of camp life. Frankl explains that

In the mid 1930s heading into the the mid 1940s, The Nazis created harsh living conditions for Jews living in Europe. The Nazis, lead by Adolf Hitler, were an right wing group that took control of Germany and eventually expanded to the other European countries around them including Poland and Austria. Using the Nuremberg laws in 1935, the Nazis began removing Jewish people from everyday society. Four years later in 1939, Jews were forced to live in Ghettos that were overcrowded and barely maintained. Not long after in 1945, The “final solution” was implemented. Innocent Jewish men, women and children were shipped in train cars to Concentration camps. The conditions in these train cars were brutal. Passengers would go days without water, food

First, Nazi concentration camps and Japanese internment camps were not essentially the same thing because the Jews were not being treated like people, while the Japanese resumed a normal life. First, in Anne Frank's diary it says, “The people get almost nothing to eat, much less to drink”(Anne Frank's diary, October 9th,1942) . In the Nazi concentration camps they weren’t even given the luxury of food. It was watered down porridge, which gave them absolutely no nutritional value. To make matters worse, water was only available 1 hour a day. Many people would go days without food and water. Killing the weak and the sick. Next, while in the Japanese internment camps they had plenty of food and water. They had healthy food

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

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.

     Another factor in the case is racism. Japanese-Americans were subjected to discrimination from the government even before the United States’ entrance into WWII. Five days before the executive order that allowed for removal of Japanese from the west coast, Lieutenant General John L. DeWitt speculated the possibility of the Japanese-Americans acting against the U.S., saying that “the very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken” (RTAP, 119). This created a no-win situation for the Japanese-Americans because if they did not act against the U.S., it was still thought that inevitably would. Japanese were denied citizenship before the war, as well (RTAP, 121). Inside the camps, the loyalty questionnaires forced them to either renounce both their allegiance to

The Japanese camps and the jewish camps aren't the same because the jewish camps killed, japanese camps sheltered and were feed, and japanese camps were made to kept just watch them.Although both camps are horrible I do believe that they are not the same i do believe that the jewish camps are worse than the Japanese

America is known as a country of immigrants. Year after year, more people leave their countries to come to America. The Japanese were an example of one of these people. Like other immigrants, the Japanese were seeking a better life in America. The Japanese Americans were treated differently than others. They faced harsh discrimination and were despised by many. During World War I, America was fighting against the Axis powers. The Axis powers consisted of Germany, Japan, and Italy. On December 7th, 1941, Japan bombed the U.S. naval base, Pearl Harbor. The bombing of Pearl Harbor led to the suspicion of the Japanese Americans that gave way to America making the rash decision of Japanese American internment. The decision to imprison thousands

Many Americans didn’t like Americans with Japanese Descendancy. They were afraid that something terrible would happen to themselves and their family. According to the Article The Crisis, it states, “Color seems to be the only possible reason why thousands of American citizens of Japanese ancestry are in concentration camps.” This means that the only reason why Japanese people were being sent to camps is because of how they look. In reality,

I hear the familiar voice of our officer yelling at us (Châtel). That means another day; another long, painful and exhausting day. Today is different though. Everyone has an odd sense of urgency. I walk over to my mom.

During World War II Americans were very brutal towards the Japanese-Americans.The Japanese made the U.S. prisoners and the U.S. both made prisoners feel dehumanized and isolated. The U.S. soldiers were put in prison camps for fighting the war but the Japanese-Americans were held in internment camps for being descents of Japan and “oppose a threat to the citizens of the U.S.” The U.S. believed that the Japanese-Americans could still be loyal to the Japanese and harm the citizens of the U.S. so they were put in internment camps so that threat would no longer exist. World War II was a war that people were dehumanized and isolated from the outside world.

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

"I spent my boyhood behind the barbed wire fences of American internment camps and that part of my life is something that I wanted to share with more people," -George Takei. While the death driven camps in Nazi Germany unleashed hatred to the Jewish population, the United States government used Japanese American Internment Camps to racially segregate, imprison, and punish Japanese Americans to eliminate the risk of a Japanese American doubling as a spy.
