When Hitler became Chancellor he chose to put the Jews in concentration camps because he thought they looked like the enemy, Hitler made sure that everyone hated the Jews. Japanese internment camps were not the same as Jewish concentration camps because the concentration camps were more harsh, the Japanese were given a life style, and the concentration camps were used for more than one purpose.
The Concentration camps were more harsh because the Jews were treated as a thing. For example they were tattooed with numbers like 1798. The Nazi’s used this to keep track of the Jews in the camps. In Anne Frank’s extract she said “Father Has received a call… I was stunned.” (Exert July 8th 1942) Even when Anne Frank’s family got a call from someone everyone …show more content…
would freak out and get scared about going to the camps.Anne Frank’s family was scared because they got a call from the SS (Nazi Germany) that there had been some Jews living there. If Anne Frank and her family were found at that time they would have been tortured. Jews were starved in the Concentration camps the jews were given splashes of water and crumbs of bread,the japanese in the internment camps were given nourishing food. The children were given hot dogs in the Idaho’s Minidoka Internment camp.
In the Internment camps the Japanese were given a new life style. The kids were given the education they needed. But most of the education was about learning to be loyal to President Ford and not loyal to the emperor in Japan. Everybody in the camps had to take a loyalty test to show how loyal they are to President Ford. The Japanese were able to build there own schools and govt’s,and they held church sessions. The Japanese were able to build there own society there. The Japanese were given many privileges in, but the Jews were given very little. The Jews were forced to work 24/7 in the camps. The Japanese were given the privilege to stay with there families, they were not separated. Right when the Jews got to the camps they were separated from there families, so were sent straight to work, and some were instantly killed. Hitler used the concentration camps for more than one purpose. One is that you will go to jail if you are against Hitler and his gov’t. Anyone who was against Hitler or a Nazi were immediately put in a concentration camp. Second in the article Concentration Camps In Nazi Germany said “Knowledge of what life was like in camp.” This means that if people knew what life was like in the camps the people were put in one. Third Hitler used this to control the population. Hitler new that people were scared of the camps and did not wanna be in one, so the people listened and did anything Hitler said.
On the other hand the internment camps and the concentration camps could be shown as the same thing.
Both internment camps and concentration camps were guarded with barbed wire fences and soldiers with guns. The Japanese and the Jews in the camps were guarded with the same thing. The Japanese and the Jews were both forced out of there homes. In the movie with George Takei he stated “ I was very scared when the soldiers came in and ordered us out of our home,” the Nazi’s ransacted anyones home to find Jews. The Jews and the Japanese were forced to shower with other naked people. These means that they did not get the privacy that they used to had, or all the hot water they wanted, they had to bath with lots of other people. The internment camps and the concentration camps were kinda alike in the same
way.
The concentration camps were more harsh, the Japanese were given a new life style, and the concentration camps were used for different purposes, those are three reasons why internment camps and concentration camps were not the same. President Ford stopped the internment camps because he noticed that what he was doing a horrible thing to insist people. Hitler was shot and killed by someone and that was when the Holocaust ended. Hitler ended up killing 6 million people within 5 years during World War II.
