American Japanese Internment

I am currently reading a book that focuses on the Japanese American Internment. It made me curious, is this subject covered at any level of Japanese standard education? Or is it more something you would learn about in university after choosing a study focus? If it is taught, what is the tone or telling of this history? I would be very surprised if the average US citizen under the age of 35 knew about it. I only learned about it through being a fan of George Takei. I couldn't believe something like that happened in the land of the free. It's been several years since I learned of its existence and I've just recently been trying to learn more about it.
