Comment on US Internment Camps “Human Rights Crime of Century” by Anonymous:

First, the people that were interned did not lose their land or property. When they were released, they were allowed to return to their former homes.

Second, they were afforded due process under the laws of the time.

Third, while interred, the internees were treated quite well and very well provided for.

That being said, I don’t agree with the internment process of the day, but that was a much different time. And since then, the US government has lived up to their mistake and, as was pointed out in the article, have paid over a billion dollars in reparations.

Now, as you say, comparing the Japanese internment to the atrocities performed at that time by other nations does not excuse the action.

But in comparison the internment, although an embarrassing piece of american history, is nowhere near as bad as other things that had and were happening across the world at the time.
