My grandfather was in the Arizona national guard during the war, his job was perimeter guard at an internment camp. He said it was the most horrible and painful thing he had ever done, but he didn’t know what he could do about it. He told me it was up to my generation to make sure nothing like that would ever happen again.
The japanese government doesnt till this day acknowledge their wrongdoing during ww2 to their oppressed but rather justify it. So 35 years is alot better than nothing.
You may remember them being called "internment camps," but let's call them what they were: "concentration camps." Here is my latest Story Time with Mr. Beat video. If you like it, please share.
Concentration camps don't fit that narrative for the internment camps. I mean at least the Japanese Americans got a bit better off than the victims of the holocaust
Calling the camps "concentration camps" is engaging in Holocaust revisionist rhetoric and is intellectually dishonest. Care to consult Knowing Better about this? This is exactly his argument about the misuse of the term _concentration camps_ with regard to Order 9066.
I know this video is 9 years old at the time of my comment, but I really feel like it's worth mentioning that the 442nd Regiment (A unit made up entirely of Japanese Americans during WW2) is the most decorated military unit in the history of the United States.
You only mentioned very briefly the Japanese Americans who served in the The 442nd Infantry Regiment in World War 2. It was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service in the history of the US military.
If you ever thought that the "single-bullet theory" proposed by the Warren Commission was illogical, the Commission was headed by a man who would have thought that it was logical to believe that a person without a police record would be more likely to commit a crime in the future than a person with a police record. According to the Wikipedia article on Earl Warren: - Warren further argued that the complete lack of disloyal acts among Japanese Americans in California to date indicated that they intended to commit such acts in the future.
The camps were unjust and not a great idea. But I hate when people say they were for mass execution. Surprising the Japanese mad the best of it by making communities and schools. But the camps are a disappointing look on us.
They were employed as farm workers, usually. They made $12 a month, a quarter of what the average farm worker made at the time. So, yes, it was quite measly.
@@MikkiManson13 you looks very educated and matured with your choice of words... might as well name calling the entire family of your opposing subjects to make your point huh?
I went to a traveling WWII museum, it was specifically on the treatment of the Jewish population during that time around the world. The museum was insane. There was so much I didn't accurately understand about that time in history. That was the first time I learned my state housed 1.400 Japanese Americans while also being a German/Japanese POW camp. We hide the stupidest things from the next generations, dooming ourselves to repeat history.
I grew up in California, and some neighbors were victims of this. Here in Hawaii less AJAs were "interned", out in the country in Honouliuli, and at Sand Island near Honolulu, the old immigration station. There were no attempts at sabotage here, though martial law fueled the rumor mill with nitrous.
Let's not forget that Hawaii was not a state yet then. The US government couldn't just order anything there. The reason the PH attack was so notable was it was committed against a US Naval Yard. Not US soil per se.
I’m half Japanese and have lived in Japan my whole life. Although I side with China, Korea(both north and south), Philippines, etc over Japan about WW2, I do live with most people who buys the narrative from Japan. For example, the comfort women were mostly voluntary and were done so the families of the women could have more money and that the Nanking massacre is framed as an incident in Japan. I don’t know the specifics and I want to know if you’re going to make a video about it. If you don’t want to, I understand since it’s very controversial and from what I heard there aren’t many documents about it so it’s hard to make a video about it.
Ofc the nanjing masacre was framed as an “accident”. I mean no offense by this but the Japanese government is one of the worst cases of denying their history. Mostly due to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the role and evils that Japan committed during WW2 have been downplayed almost to the point of them being seen as a victim of the war. For example. Did the comfort women provide their “services” to support their families? Yes. Did they have to do it because a foreign power invaded, took over their industries and agriculture and forced the native population into poverty and subjugation? Also yes. Were many of them brutalized by their patrons and was this deemed acceptable by the authorities because of the supposed racial inferiority of the Korean people, also, yes.
I wish some forensic historian would expose who ended up with the farms,and other properties. Not making any excuses, but the Niesi lucked out better than a European Jew
Are you familiar with the Niihau incident? In hindsight it's easy to disagree with the internment policy, and I do disagree with it, but there were Japanese Americans willing to and did in fact aid the Japanese enemy.
Other than the Niihau incident, which occurred on the same day as the Pearl Harbor attacks, can you name one example of evidence of Japanese Americans aiding the Japanese enemy during the war?
Mr. Beat although i disagree with forcing japenese in to these camps, they should have been an option. You mentioned the paronoia. Think of all the japenese that would have been murdered by angry mobs. Also, Japenese in Hawai were allowed to stay because the island was on lock-down
@@iammrbeat Yeah, in the Philippines, which was an American commonwealth at the time. The Japanese residents there were perfectly happy to collaborate with the Japanese occupation. That happened EVERYWHERE when the Japanese militarily occupied a territory.
I think that the terms "internment camps" and "concentration camps" are equally valid and I just can't see where using one in place of the other is really any big deal. Further, no mention of Japanese wartime atrocities and passing mention of Japanese-American volunteering to fight for America in WWII in this video is acceptable because it's not what the video is about - it's about the internment of innocent people based on their ethnic origin. Period. Another solid job, Mr. Beat!
That's an EXCELLENT question! I've often wondered that myself! I'm sure they didn't touch them because they were WHITE! To me that's just a double standard!
i hate what happened too, but there are some exaggerations. the Hawaiian business men where just as racist, they didn't force them into caps because the entire territory was under martial law because of the war. calling the caps concentration caps puts them on the same level of auschwitz, what we did was horrible but we didnt do genocide. also 5$ was a lot of money back then.
Auschwitz was a group of concentration and extermination camps. These were specifically concentration camps. concentration camp: a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities. And the 5$ was converted to todays worth. They would be paid then about 30 cents or so.
Nicely done. I'm always careful to call them internment camps rather than concentration camps. I do often have students make the comparison to the German concentration camps, though.
Thanks! I went back and forth in terms of what to call them- internment camps or concentration camps. I finally decided on "concentration camps" due to the actual definition of them. I do worry about students confusing them with the Nazi concentration camps, but I often refer to those as "extermination camps."
I wish the ending was correct. I have met more than a few Americans who claim that the reason no sabotage by Japanese Americans occured was because they were locked up.
So obviously I'm not saying that the internment camps were a good thing but to call them concentration camps isn't right. For one thing more people came out of then then went in. Second you say $5 a day but this was 70 + years ago. The minimum wage was $0.30 an hour at the time so if you figure they worked the standard 8 hour day that's almost double minimum wage per hour. The standard GI made I believe it was fifty bucks a month fighting overseas. A gallon of gas around that time Was 20 cents a pack of cigarettes was about 24 cents A candy bar was a nickel. Without pointing the obvious inflation from that time some younger viewers might think 5 bucks is 5 bucks
I know this is an old video, and that saying this is like shouting at a wall, but using the term “concentration camps” for the Japanese internment camps devalues the term. Were they horrible? Yes. Is it one of the most evil things the American government did? Yes. But it never, and thank the lord for this, got to the point of being equated to a concentration camp. Some historians believe that using the term concentration camp for the internment camps is a dog whistle for neonazis and nazi sympathizers who want to either try to downplay the evils of the Nazis or to attempt to claim that the American government was as bad as the Nazis, which is an utter lie.
I was watching a watch mojo video recently, and a legacy of the attitude of the time manifested itself in depictions of Asian characters with slanted eyes and lisps (Commando Duck is a classic example). What some politicians miss (not just an American problem, my country has done it too I'm ashamed to say) is that locking people up purely based upon suspicion rather than proof will only succeed in motivating them to do something. Take the situation in Northern Ireland during the period that became known as the troubles, for years people were held without trial on suspicion of being involved with the IRA. What tended to happen was that if they weren't members of said organisation before, they were very ready to join after their experiences. Great video again Matt by the way :)
Unjustifiable racial hatred is one thing America is real good at. FDR was wrong in signing such a executive order. Without question a malicious vindictive and wrong move.
my grandparents lived next-door to a lovely Japanese family. the family was taken away to one of those camps and left the house vacant. as vandals began to break in to the home, my grandparents took. it upon themselves to protect their belongings until they could find the rightful owners. it was passed onto us and we donated the items to a local christian church made up of primarily Japanese-Americans. Unfortunately we had a water heater mishap and damaged one of their photo albums, along with many of our own family photos. I dont know where they are but I pray that they are well.
If your grandparents were mine I’d be deeply ashamed. They knew what happened to the rightful owners of that property they claimed and they took full advantage. And to trash family albums…despicable.
ua-cam.com/video/M4m_BwYeIRo/v-deo.html (timestamped) I don't think it's exactly accurate to say that it was the impact on the economy that let most Japanese-Americans in Hawaii avoid internment.The entire island was practically under martial law. While the economy reason is true, it's a gross misrepresentation to not bring up how Hawaii wasn't exactly a pleasant place to begin with alongside that.
It was pretty bad, but you are obviously trying to make it sound as bad as you possibly can. Unfortuntely the way people try to exaggerate how bad the Japanese internment camps were makes it hard to assess how bad they really were.
I use the term "internment camps." To call them concentration camps equates the Japanese experience with the goals of the final solution the Nazis perpetrated in Europe.
Concentration camp: a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities. The Nazis weren't the only ones to have them. The Nazis employed many extermination/death camps for genocide, which is what you mean. The Nazis had concentration camps in the early 30s way before 1941, like Dachau built in 1933, for their political enemies: Communists and Socialists. 1938 is when concentration camps would begin being used for minorities like the Jewish people, Romani, etc. 1941 is when the Nazis came up with the Final Solution meaning the point became killing as many targets as they could, having death camps, because genocide was their final solution of many to the question 'what should they do with the Jewish people?'
@@MikkiManson13 Any other historical instances of the term with regard to the Nazis? Don't forget that the British had them in South Africa during the Boer Wars and we had our _renconcentrados_ during the Philippine-American War. Historical myopia is detrimental to anyone who engages in it.
obviously Japan in ww2 commuted many many horrific war crimes and crimes against humanity. The stuff they did in China mainly but Also the way they treated American pows. But that doesnt make the concentration camps good just because you can compare it to much worse things the Japanese did. these camps were immoral and a violation if American rights we shouldn't have had a taint like this on our history during that time we were supposed to be the higher good in democracy and human rights but we didn't really do that because people were afraid. Fear is one of the worst emotions in human history.
Japan is my favorite counrty and I'm not gonna say just because Japan is my favorite country but this is just inhuman America is my second favorite country America at this time should have been above the Nazis I know that FDR did a lot for America during World War 2 however, this action is unforgettable not to mention that a lot of Americans married a Japanese women after the end of World War 2.
We're just as myopic and hysterical today. Hindsight is 2020, humanity never learns. Pretty sure Covid camps are on the way, backed by the EXACT same irrational hysterics. What has changed?
Concentration camp and internment camp effectively mean the same thing. What do you find so admirable about the tone and mission of these camps that you feel the need to defend their honor to strangers on the internet?
That is bullshit Hawaii was put under martial low and yes there where concentration camps there where more people that exited the camps thene entered the camps and 5$ a day that is 80 dolars( in today's money) a day and if you worked for a monthe that is 155$ in today money it is 12 000$ monthe a private in the US army made 50$

I know this is an old video, and that saying this is like shouting at a wall, but using the term “concentration camps” for the Japanese internment camps devalues the term. Were they horrible? Yes. Is it one of the most evil things the American government did? Yes. But it never, and thank the lord for this, got to the point of being equated to a concentration camp. Some historians believe that using the term concentration camp for the internment camps is a dog whistle for neonazis and nazi sympathizers who want to either try to downplay the evils of the Nazis or to attempt to claim that the American government was as bad as the Nazis, which is an utter lie.
Is there any history of oppression to Mexicans?
Gyovanny7080 Who cares. Lol
No
I was watching a watch mojo video recently, and a legacy of the attitude of the time manifested itself in depictions of Asian characters with slanted eyes and lisps (Commando Duck is a classic example).
What some politicians miss (not just an American problem, my country has done it too I'm ashamed to say) is that locking people up purely based upon suspicion rather than proof will only succeed in motivating them to do something. Take the situation in Northern Ireland during the period that became known as the troubles, for years people were held without trial on suspicion of being involved with the IRA. What tended to happen was that if they weren't members of said organisation before, they were very ready to join after their experiences.
Great video again Matt by the way :)
Unjustifiable racial hatred is one thing America is real good at. FDR was wrong in signing such a executive order. Without question a malicious vindictive and wrong move.
my grandparents lived next-door to a lovely Japanese family. the family was taken away to one of those camps and left the house vacant. as vandals began to break in to the home, my grandparents took. it upon themselves to protect their belongings until they could find the rightful owners. it was passed onto us and we donated the items to a local christian church made up of primarily Japanese-Americans. Unfortunately we had a water heater mishap and damaged one of their photo albums, along with many of our own family photos. I dont know where they are but I pray that they are well.
If your grandparents were mine I’d be deeply ashamed. They knew what happened to the rightful owners of that property they claimed and they took full advantage. And to trash family albums…despicable.
@@mirrage42 I am sorry that you feel this way
Imagine if they did the same with Mexicans.

I don't think it's exactly accurate to say that it was the impact on the economy that let most Japanese-Americans in Hawaii avoid internment.The entire island was practically under martial law. While the economy reason is true, it's a gross misrepresentation to not bring up how Hawaii wasn't exactly a pleasant place to begin with alongside that.
The devil is wicked bruh.

With all due respect, akhon korleo atkate parbenna.
These people were given reparations and an apology, meanwhile the black descendants of slavery haven't been given anything.
I guess Japan should say sorry to all of the people in Korea who were sent to their prison camps
It was pretty bad, but you are obviously trying to make it sound as bad as you possibly can.
Unfortuntely the way people try to exaggerate how bad the Japanese internment camps were makes it hard to assess how bad they really were.

I use the term "internment camps." To call them concentration camps equates the Japanese experience with the goals of the final solution the Nazis perpetrated in Europe.
Concentration camp: a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities.
The Nazis weren't the only ones to have them. The Nazis employed many extermination/death camps for genocide, which is what you mean.
The Nazis had concentration camps in the early 30s way before 1941, like Dachau built in 1933, for their political enemies: Communists and Socialists. 1938 is when concentration camps would begin being used for minorities like the Jewish people, Romani, etc. 1941 is when the Nazis came up with the Final Solution meaning the point became killing as many targets as they could, having death camps, because genocide was their final solution of many to the question 'what should they do with the Jewish people?'
@@MikkiManson13 Any other historical instances of the term with regard to the Nazis? Don't forget that the British had them in South Africa during the Boer Wars and we had our _renconcentrados_ during the Philippine-American War.
Historical myopia is detrimental to anyone who engages in it.
Japanese also put Americans in internment camps as well and did numerous other horrible things to the Chinese and Filipinos.
obviously Japan in ww2 commuted many many horrific war crimes and crimes against humanity. The stuff they did in China mainly but Also the way they treated American pows. But that doesnt make the concentration camps good just because you can compare it to much worse things the Japanese did. these camps were immoral and a violation if American rights we shouldn't have had a taint like this on our history during that time we were supposed to be the higher good in democracy and human rights but we didn't really do that because people were afraid. Fear is one of the worst emotions in human history.
they were POWs not citizens of the country that was imprisoning them
DeWitt is the Himlich Himler of America
Good American soldiers follow orders.
Huhhhh
Sure. But keep in mind: the *Nuremberg Defense* has been totally discredited.
Japan is my favorite counrty and I'm not gonna say just because Japan is my favorite country but this is just inhuman America is my second favorite country America at this time should have been above the Nazis I know that FDR did a lot for America during World War 2 however, this action is unforgettable not to mention that a lot of Americans married a Japanese women after the end of World War 2.
i wouldnt have taken the money
why
That a lot of money
We're just as myopic and hysterical today. Hindsight is 2020, humanity never learns. Pretty sure Covid camps are on the way, backed by the EXACT same irrational hysterics. What has changed?
WOW. So many disgusting quotes. Shameful.
Concentration camp? What a gross misrepresentation of the tone and mission of these internment camps.
Concentration camp and internment camp effectively mean the same thing. What do you find so admirable about the tone and mission of these camps that you feel the need to defend their honor to strangers on the internet?
America is the best
That is bullshit Hawaii was put under martial low and yes there where concentration camps there where more people that exited the camps thene entered the camps and 5$ a day that is 80 dolars( in today's money) a day and if you worked for a monthe that is 155$ in today money it is 12 000$ monthe a private in the US army made 50$
The 5$ was converted to todays worth. They would be paid then about 30 cents or so.
I woudln't call them concentration camps because that puts them at the same level as the Nazi camps

1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein ㆍ to worship the first beast, whose ㆍ deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would ㆍ not worship the image of the beast should be killed ㆍ.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great ㆍ, rich and poor ㆍ, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand ㆍ, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Nippon ist ein einsames Land, mit dem man nichts anfangen kann, weil seine nationale Identität zerstört wurde und es nach Müllrinnen riecht, die sich selbst zerstören wollten.
Das endgültige Urteil über die Ratten der Ratten erfolgt im Namen des allmächtigen Gottes, und im Jahr 2020 werden alle Ereignisse der Verschwendung durch die großen Ereignisse zerstört.
666 Das Ende der japanischen Ratten, die durch Betrug verflucht sind und vergangene Fehler täuschen, indem sie auf die Stirn und den Handrücken der ganzen japanischen Ratten prägen wie der Müll, den die Seelen krank machen und jammern. Ich werde Ihnen klar zeigen, was es ist.
Wenn die neu errichtete neue Ordnung und der konfliktfreie Zustand aller Menschen [([Ausschließen Nippon Ratte Ethnisch])] der Welt in Kontinuität, Kontinuität, Unendlichkeit aufrechterhalten werden, bleiben die Ordnung des Universums und die neue Ordnung und Stabilität erhalten.
Alles kann erreicht werden, indem man Gott im Zentrum denkt, und die neu errichtete neue Ordnung des globalen Dorfes gilt gleichermaßen für das große unendliche Universum.
