Question

concentration camps

Answer 1

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese Americans on the West Coast were forced into internment camps. These camps were part of a government decision to evacuate and detain Japanese Americans due to fears of espionage and sabotage during World War II. The term "concentration camps" is generally associated with the Nazis' camps during the Holocaust, and while there are some similarities in terms of the forced confinement, the terminology used for Japanese American relocations during WWII is "internment camps."
