How were the prisoners for the Japanese interment camps selected?
Concentration camps were established in 1933 and were primarily for political prisoners. Extermination camps were first established in 1941 and were for groups that the Nazis wanted to exterminate completely - Jews and 'gypsies'.From late 1944 onwards some Jews were transferred from the more easterly camps, especially Auschwitz, to ordinary concentration camps and the distinction became somewhat blurred.

i guess it was the first person to read the newspaper on 22nd March 1933. the camps were not a secret, it was what was happening inside the camps that was the secret.

Or you could ask when the camps changed to a policy of murder rather than punishment and rehabilitation.
