On the contrary. The Japanese were given a list of the household items
they could take with them and those not required as they would be
furnished for them, which was a lot more than the Jews were given.

Plus, they were told what their quarters would be like, right up to the
fence that would contain their free movement within it's boundries, the
camp store where their money would be as good as it was on the outside,
and the laundry facitities provided for their use as well as the bathing
facilities.

Unlike the Jews of Europe, the Japanese weren't crowded into small spaces
and left to their own devices for cleanliness.

Wrong again. I'm comparing your apples to my oranges.

How did you gather that from what you were told about it?

You actually believe (judging by what you say here) that they're
circustance was the same as the Jews. Far from it.

It must be horrible to harbor so much hate...
