Ok...... I'm not sure what your point is here, other than to draw a
distinction between our policy of internment, and the Germans' desire
for genocide.
The point was to illustrate a similarity between two governments, at war with
one another, which agreed in at least the most basic sense that certain racial
or ethnic groups needed to be imprisoned for the sake of public welfare.
We believed that the Jap-Am's were a threat to national security. The
Germans believed that the Jews were an inferior race. We temporarily
"secured" the Jap-Am's. The Germans exterminated the Jews.
The comparison is not even close.
