This is such a glossed-over, shameful period in American history. As a child, this book did a great job of teaching me about the camps and helping me understand what it was like to be one of the interred Japanese-Americans: http://www.amazon.com/Farewell-Manzanar-Jeanne-Houston/dp/0307976076
Not sure how similar it is to the average experience, but Farewell to Manzanar is a memoir written by a young girl who spent a good portion of her childhood in the internment camps. (concentration camps?)
From what I remember (I read it maybe seven years ago) the conditions were poor - crowded and cold, but not life threatening. Still complete bullshit morally speaking, but I'm not sure they're comparable to concentration camps. Although I'd be interested to hear what the consensus on that is here.

I also grew up in California around the same time, and it was covered relatively heavily. We were also assigned to read the book Farewell to Manzanar.
