Not true. While it was not as wide spread and is not nearly as well known
as the incarceration of Japanese-Americans, there were Americans of
Italian and German descent that received similar treatment.

Here in Santa Cruz, the Italian-Americans were not interned, but were
restricted from going within a mile of the shoreline.

Since most of them were fishermen, that pretty much killed their
livelihoods. (Not to mention that in Santa Cruz, there were very few
places that weren't within a mile of the shoreline in 1942.)

I believe the restrictions were relaxed after the Italian surrender in
1943.
