Japanese Americans

How long were Japanese Americans kept inside of internment camps and did the US government give some kind of compensation to the Japanese Americans for keeping them inside of the internment camps which essentially ruined their lives, jobs, etc.?

  1. I believe that the Japanese were kept in internment camps from the second half of 1942 until the dawn of 1945. If I recall from previous classes I believe they were compensated under the "American Japanese Claims Act" that allowed them to apply for compensation but it could not however make up for the entirety of their devastating losses.
