German internment camps in World War II

I was surprised to learn several years ago that not only were Japanese interned in the US, but German-Americans and Italians were also put into camps. Some were immigrants, but others were American citizens! It is an injustice that no one seems to acknowledge this fact, and few know about it, like a piece of history swept under the rug and forgotten.
This is an interesting site with first-hand accounts:

I have a special interest in it because my ancestry is German. I also live not far from Fort McCoy, WI, where some Germans were interned during World War II.
