Internment of Japanese Americans
Following the entry of the United States into the war, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942 authorizing the relocation and restriction of movement of persons considered "enemy aliens" to designated zones in the western US. Although not specified, the order was primarily leveraged against Japanese Americans. Under the oversight of the newly-established War Relocation Authority, c. 120,000 first and second-generation Japanese Americans were forced to relocate to internment camps, including one in Colorado at Granada (Amache). Only some 14,000 European-born "enemy aliens" (mostly German or Italian) were detained.
Transnistria (Moldova)
A narrow territory located between the Bug and Dniester rivers along the former border between Romania and Ukraine in what is today Moldova. Transnistria was annexed to Romania after German and Romanian troops conquered the Ukraine in 1941, and the Axis-aligned Romanian government immediately began deporting Jews from throughout Romania to camps and ghettos in the region. Between 150,000-250,000 Jews from Romania and Ukraine were murdered or died as a result of maltreatment and poor conditions in Transnistria.
Holocaust
The systematic mass murder of approximately six million Jewish men, women and children by the National Socialist (Nazi) regime in Germany and its collaborators during World War II. The Nazi plan for the extermination of the Jews of Europe was called the ""Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” Two-thirds of the Jewish population of Europe, and one third of the worldwide Jewish population, died in the Holocaust.
