This week

This week was pretty interesting to learn about. We continued to learn and discuss about people's denial of civil rights. We started talking about similarities and differences of Concentration camps and Japanese internment camps. There were not a whole lot of differences. All the people in the Concentration camps were innocent and being killed by the Nazis. They had no way of escaping or staying safe from the senseless killing. The major difference was that the Japanese were not being killed here in America. They were still allowed freedoms, they just had to stay in the camps. The American Government felt it would help keep the Japanese-Americans safe from being attacked by other american citizens. I really felt the movies we watched in class we very helpful in understanding what really happened.
