How much compensation has been paid to the victims of German-American internment during WW2?

Question

OMG, how ignorant are you.

>All this stupid political correctness portrays the enemy as the victim, in a couple hundred years we'll be forced to apologise for the Nuremburg trials if we listen to all this bullshit

It's not stupid. War crimes were commited by both sides. There WERE victims of American war crimes. I think it is a good idea to apologize for not punishing American war criminals.

>it was only racism that forced us to inter the Japanese.

Yes, it was racism that made the US to relocate the Japanese Americans. Their properties were confiscated and the people were made to leave their home.

Answer 1

I don't know this, but thanks for posting. I met several GA during the 60s, who had migrated to USA after WW1. At outbreak of WW11, they were immediately placed on enemy alien list, even if they had applied or obtained US citizenship. Many were not concentrated, but had 'special' attention by FBI, especially those in German speaking areas such as Minnesota. Even third generation German-American who maintained German language were suspected of Nazi sympathies, although these Americans, while pacifist and migrated here to avoid constant bloodshed and wars of the German Princes, never fell for Nazi propaganda.
Many of these veterans of German WW1 army were used in military as they were anti-Nazi Jews and Germans, and fiercely opposed to Hitler.
Those who had not assimilated as well, were used in work battalions or allowed Pacific War service.
OMG????? for what? Not very open minded to say this without specifying why you are angry.

Answer 2

None. And we shouldn't pay the Japs anything either.
Imagine if we hadn't interned them, they would have helped the fascists if they invaded.
All this stupid political correctness portrays the enemy as the victim, in a couple hundred years we'll be forced to apologise for the Nuremburg trials if we listen to all this bullshit.

Answer 3

This is a fairly easy question, but the answer is nothing. It was reserved for Japanese-Americans and we still are captured by the myth that it was only racism that forced us to inter the Japanese. Did you know, for example, that the Japanese were not required to go to the camps? It was an option. They could either go to the camps or move farther inland, but in either case they had to be away from the Pacific Coast. Many of them obtained jobs in New Jersey or other places on the East Coast, mostly in manufacturing and farming.
