    Hold up. The internment camps were a travesty and shocking by American standards - but can hardly be compared to the Nazi camps. The Japanese were paid for work, had schools, raised their own livestock and crops, some were even allowed to leave for college. They were closer to American prisons in terms of conditions.

    It was un-Constitutional and “un-American” as hell, but they were hardly the American Auschwitz.
