Just a side note, the US did not enter WW2 because of concentration camps. They were aware such places existed, but the Nazi's only show Theresienstadt as an example model camp, putting both the Red Cross and the leaders of various nations mind at ease.
Only after the real horrible examples of concentration camps were found the true extent of the horror became known, and that wasn't until the last year of the war.
The US needed a valid excuse to enter the war, and Japan who was an ally with Germany gave the excuse they needed. Before that the US was as keen on staying neutral as our country was (and as naive).
The round up and putting in camps of Japanese Americans made sense in military terms, but on the human rights level it was absolutely deplorable. But it had nothing to do with concentration camps in Europe or the pacific.
