^japanese internment camps remind me of the Concentration camps of Germany. They both forced a specific race (Japanese Americans for the internment camps, and Jewish people for the German concentration camps) to live in small cramped “houses” with several people living in there. The conditions were bad for both Japanese internment camps and German concentration camps and some didn’t even have heaters or public bathrooms. Japanese Americans also stayed in those internment camps for years on end, much like the Jews in the concentration camps.
Hope this helped! :)

Answer:

One could relate the Japanese internment camps to the Nazi Concentration Camps all over Europe. Though the Concentration camps were worse, a good amount of Japanese died in the internment camps. You can also relate them to Gulags, which were the Soviet versions of forced labor camps for POWs.
