This includes germany. That was the final reason they rounded up the jews and put them into camps. They were a potential security threat.

I have actually met a Japanese woman that was held in an internment camp for several years of her life as a young child in the United States. Even when she was released, her family were not allowed to return to the West Coast. She did not seem to carry any bad feelings about the experience, and even expressed embarrassment when she went to cash her compensation check at the bank in later years. She felt a little guilty for accepting money from the government.
1988
Acting to redress what many Americans now regard as a historic injustice, the Senate today voted overwhelmingly to give $20,000 and an apology to each of the Japanese-Americans who were driven from their homes and sent to internment camps in World War II.
The vote was 69 to 27 and followed an emotional debate. The bill's principal advocate, Senator Spark M. Matsunaga, a Japanese-American from Hawaii, recalling life in an internment camp, related the story of an elderly man who crossed a fence to retrieve a ball for his grandchild and was machine-gunned to death.
