The fact is, during the first part of the war the Nazis put Jews in internment camps of much better living conditions than what the US provided for the detained Japanese-Americans.

Jewish treatment deteriorated at the same rate of the German military. The most logical conclusion is that there was no "final solution" and that it was a breakdown of the military and German society in general that caused millions of detained Jews to die.

The Japanese-Americans would have similar horror stories had the US been successfully invaded during the war. Available supplies would have gone to white Americans, not "wasted on Japs." There would also have been military command issues causing US soldiers to develop a mindset that they can murder Japanese-Americans and get away with it.

If the Nazis wanted to kill all Jews they would have shot them upon capture; not try to house them for years.
