Ben and his family did not think they were going to take them, they did not think they would actually do it to them. Well, they were wrong, the Natzis came and took Ben Camm and his family to the concentration camps. On the way there they did not know what to think. Ben and his family were crammed into the back

Camp Nauvoo at It’s Finest I only had my permit for a few weeks and I had to drive four and a half hours to get to my summer camp. I had to drive across three states and over two rivers When we got there, there wasn’t anybody else there. When the camp pastor finally got there he told us that the camp start had been pushed back two hours so we had to wait a while. Me and my cousin, Nicole, just sat in the lodge for a little while.

I am a past camper of Camp Marist. My first year at camp was during the summer of 2009, I started off in La Petite for the second session.

Filing through a pile of mail one day at seventeen, I came across a pamphlet, “Camp Conowingo GSCM” it read in green, bubbly letters. Conowingo, I hadn’t heard that name since I was thirteen. As the fond memories of camp started to come back to me, I flipped through the pages, and came across something I didn’t expect to see, “Become a CIT!

2 camps: Nazi camps and Japanese Internment camps. There was long hatred for Jews in European history. Hitler was the chancellor of Germany with death camps and concentration camps, and America had Internment camps. Innocent people were put in these camps.

Nazi prisoners of war during World War II in America were treated much better than the prisoners of Guantanamo

Japanese Internment camps and Nazi Concentration camps are two different things. One of the camps was made just to contain the Japanese until they sweared their allegiance.
