In the ghetto we know that there was more than just jews because in Milkweed Misha was put in the ghetto when his identity was a gypsy but later he did adapt to a jew. but i also know from my background knowledge that the also put jehovah's witnesses, homosexuals and disabled people
Heart Valley Mountain Camp
The Heart Valley Mountain Camp had only japanese americans but the ghettos had multiple ethnicities.
I know from "Betrayed by America" that only japanese americans were put there because in the article it said "In February 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. History would come to regard this order as one of America’s most shameful acts. Executive Order 9066 gave the military the power to remove all Japanese Americans—every man, woman, and child—from the West Coast and relocate them to internment camps in remote parts of the U.S." Executive order 9066 only included japanese americans but not anyone else
