> It's amazing how many people don't know we had concentration camps in the USA in recent history. When you say "concentration camp" people think of gas chambers, crematoria, and genocide, which were not components of Japanese internment. The term is still technically correct, but that may be why people are confused and surprised. Maybe my school was odd... Japanese internment was at least mentioned every year in US History between 7th and 11th grade.
