Post War

After the War

After the war ended, the U.S., U.K., U.S.S.R, France, established the International Military Tribunal to have jurisdiction over war crimes, which include crimes against peace, or humanity, and conspiracy to commit a crime like that. Also after the war ended, some big figures in the Holocaust were trialed and sentenced to death, including Hermann Göring, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hans Frank, Alfred Rosenberg, and Ernst Kaltenbrunner (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, DC).

DP Camps

DP, Displaced Persons, Camps were built after liberation of the Jews because they had their houses taken by the Nazis before being taken to the camps, after liberation, they had nowhere to go, when they went home they found someone else living in their homes.

Well, now What?

After liberation, the Jews should have been excited, right? Well they were not, not only because they had no home, but also because the Nazis had already planted anti-semitism into everyones heads. Everyone was still under the idea that jews were awful people, and do not deserve to be treated like people at all. So the Jews really had nowhere to go, and nothing to do; they were allowed, but not welcome.

Japanese Internment Camps

The final internment camp was closed in March 1946, hopefully because of how messed up the stuff Hitler was doing was (history.com editors).

¨President Gerald Ford officially repealed Executive Order 9066 in 1976, and in 1988, Congress issued a formal apology and passed the Civil Liberties Act awarding $20,000 each to over 80,000 Japanese Americans as reparations for their treatment.¨
