Concentration Camps Of The Second Anglo-Boer War

Have you ever heard of the nasty, disgusting, and horrible conditions that jews had to suffer with in concentration camps during the Holocaust? Lice and fleas are a big part of conditions in concentration camps, another horrible condition in the camps are diseases and sanitation, lastly another awful condition in concentration camps is mass murder and starvation. Many people died in concentration camps during the Holocaust because of the environment the jews had to live in and deal with, and many families were split and torn apart because loved ones of theirs had died because of the horrible conditions in the camps.

The Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp could be both a good, and bad place to be. The camp had mainly held Jewish people, and other political prisoners. Many prisoners would come from other camps, but few would go, alive that is.

On December 7th, 1941, Pearl Harbor was destroyed. The Japanese attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii during World War II. 2,300 Americans were killed in this bombing. After two months of the bombing, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Executive order 9066. The Executive order 9066 demanded all Japanese Americans to leave the West coast. Many believed that the Japanese Americans were suspicious of a crime that they did not commit. This was a nightmare to not only Japanese Americans, but also to many Americans. In the Executive Order 9066, Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “Whereas the successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material national-defense premises, and national-defense utilities.”

Bang! Boom! All you can see is darkness, but you hear as if outside. Prisoners of war were captured everywhere during WWII. POW camps had better treatment and were better than than other concentration camps.

Imagine your government blaming you for the actions of the race you come from and them ultimately imprisoning you with no remorse. During WWII this situation happened to innocent Japanese Americans out of fear and prejudice. Americans put these innocent citizens in internment camps without solid evidence of them being spies and traitors.By the US acting on fear and prejudice we have damaged and harmed innocent Japanese Americans going against what America stands for and what is right.

In the immediate aftermath of Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issued executive order 9066; resulting in the relocation of Japanese Americans. This order authorized the evacuation of all people that deemed a threat to security, and the force removal and internment during World War Two of approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans living on the Pacific coast. Japanese Americans suffered severe violations of their civil liberties; there was no line drawn between the complex issues of individual rights vs. the demand of national security. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec 7 1941, Americans reacted with fear and hostility towards those of Japanese descent living in the U.S. Some say these harsh effects Japanese face was because they

It all started in The United States, during World War 2. Over 127,000 United States citizens were imprisoned. There Only Crime was, being of Japanese ancestry. This is known as a Japanese—American Internment Camp. Where they kept many in stables and abandon horse tracks, because they kept taking more and more people. This Generation should never forget about this, for many reasons. The main reason is because it shows us how much freedom we have today. For example those 127,000 were kept because they were suspected of remaining loyal to their ancestral land. The honest truth is 90% of those people never went to japan. So they were free Americans, and still had taken and imprisoned. Just to show how the world is today. We should never take anything granted. So many lives were lost because of false discrimination.

The topic that has been chosen for the term paper in the pro seminar course is Japanese Internment Camps. During World War II, a significant number of American citizens of Japanese descent were forced into American internment camps, strictly because of their ethnic background. Having committed no crime, the Japanese forced into the internment camps were treated similarly to that of Japanese prisoners of war that had been captured by the Allies. The forced relocation and eventual internment of Japanese Americans was brought about by the event that occurred on December 7, 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941 began as any typical Sunday on the Hawaiian Islands. Then at 7:55 am, the fateful Sunday on the island of Oahu would be forever remembered in the history books. At 7:55 am, three hundred and fifty three Japanese planes that were launched from Japan’s six biggest and best aircraft carriers, located only two hundred miles off the coast of the Hawaiian Islands, bombed the U.S. Naval Base. The attack by the Japanese was a complete surprise to everyone, and as a result American casualties were heavy. After the attack, fifteen American ships had been sunk including four battleships. In addition, one American ship was capsized, and one had run aground. Also, one hundred and eighty eight American planes were destroyed, and nearly two thousand four hundred men lost their lives. Prior to September 11, 2001, the attack on Pearl Harbor was the worst attack on U.S. soil

The decision to relocate Japanese-Americans to internment camps during World War II was an impurity in the United States’ reputation for maintaining democracy and individual rights. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor during World War II, great hysteria spread through the United States, urging President Roosevelt to pass the now infamous Executive Order 9066, ordering the removal of all people of Japanese-American descent. More than 100,000 people were displaced and their lives were changed forever (Tremayne). The tragedies that these people suffered bring into question the reasoning behind the order and its constitutionality. Challenges were made to the constitutionality of the order in cases such as Korematsu vs. the United States that were ruled down. With hindsight bias, the immorality of Executive Order 9066 seems obvious, yet many at the time strongly felt that the right decision had taken place (“Personal Justice Denied”). The circumstances of war made the lines of morality blurry, distorting the decisions made. The Japanese American Relocation was an act of racism more than an act of protection, and was motivated primarily by a fear of foreign people.

One of the problems Asian American communities faced during World War 2 is concentrations camps. Since the United States went to war all Japanese, Germans, and Italians were seen as enemies so, they were put in camps because the U.S did not did not trust them. Also it was a way to have control over them having them in camps. Over five thousand Japanese were detained and were intern in camps in Mexico, Montana, South Dakota, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area. There were ten more relocations camps located in California, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Arkansas.

World War II, created hysteria around the world that took years to get over. It affected so many different people, but, this essay will be focusing on the Japanese-AMERICANS affected during World War II. I am against the fact that these people were put into internment camps. My reasoning is that they didn’t pose a national threat, the internment camps promoted racism, and the internment camps can be see as a shameful episode on behalf of the US.

“Did the United States put its own citizens in concentration camps during WWII?” by Jane McGrath is an article about the Japanese-American Internment Camps during WWII. “Concentration Camps, 1933-1939” is about the German persecution of Jews in concentration camps prior to WWII. While both of the articles talk about countries imprisoning their own people, both did extremely different things with their prisoners.

Liberation means freedom, but during the Holocaust prisoners didn’t have freedom. The prisoners of the Holocaust were sent there to die and to suffer because they didn’t see Hitler as the messiah. The concentration camps were brutal and inhumane but, living conditions still did not improve as much as liberated camp survivors hoped or expected. Concentration camps disregarded all basic human rights until liberation which still did not live up to the expectations of the survivors. During the Holocaust the prisoners did not have any freedom until they were liberated.

Yonekazu Satoda was sent to the Jerome Relocation Center after the attack on Pearl Harbor when he was 22. The majority of the 120,000 detained Japanese-Americans were American citizens. He wrote in a diary while he was there and was showcased at Yale. The Yale exhibit came up around a time when some politicians said we should send current Syrian refugees to ‘detention camps.’ The victims of the detention mention injustices in the government’s treatment of them, but Satoda he says that he only remembers the good times he had with his friends there.
