Putting people into camps just to kill them is what makes me disbelieve the narrative that they were death camps. While it was true that there were mass killings, but I believe they were to help the people in the people such as you are eliminating the sick or you have a certain amount of food and you have to choose someone to save the others.
You dont send someone to a camp just to kill them and even if you do, why do they have a camp? As soon as they walk in the door you would kill them, otherwise you have to spend resources to keep them alive. And yet they lasted to the end of the war...
All this being said I do think that many people did still die in those camps and that should be mourned but I also have a feeling that should the US be found in the reverse situation where Germany was about to win the war and the US was having trouble with supplies, those Japanese in those camps in the US would have found themselves dying in a similar fashion to those in the German camps.
