Caroline's Connection #2: Japanese Internment
During this period of time, many innocent Jews were killed. The Germans blamed them for all of their problems. In order to get rid of these "pests" they sent them to concentration camps and attempted to kill them and exterminate them as if they were no better than bugs. Likewise, in the US during World WarII. Pearl Harbor had been bombed,and the US questioned the patriotism of the Japanese who had been living in America at the time because of their ancestry. Most of these people were American themselves yet the rest of America decided to send these innocent people to Internment Camps. Many lost their career, and most lost their property. These people had done nothing wrong. They shouldn't have been treated like traitors. They were wrongly accused and unfairly punished for other's mistakes.

During the early 1800s, many Americans took part in gathering up Indians and sending them to holding camps. They were then sent along the infamous Trail of Tears, to western reserves. These camps were in horrible conditions and many innocent Indians died. Although not as bad, this event can tie in with others similar to the Holocaust. Posted by Luke
