The Holocaust was a huge tragedy, the event killed thousands of people with different cultures, but with one common belief: Jeudaism. The way they were killed was horrorific, even thinking about it would make someone cringe at times. Not only were they killed, they were forced to work in labor camps.

right and the other one is wrong. Quite to the contrary, both O’Brien and Bowker can learn from each other and deal with Kiowa’s death in an even better way. “The Man I Killed” and “Ambush” both concern O’Brien’s feelings of guilt over killing an enemy combatant. Guilt is often associated with death. When a friend or loved one dies, the people left behind often feel that they could have rendered more assistance during the person’s life.

gave insight into the mind of one particular infantry soldier. While he may have been considered heroes by outsiders, people in Paul Baumer’s life—similar to people in Remarque’s life—failed to realize the catastrophic internal damage that befalls combatants long after their tours of duty end. Even for the “lucky” men who saw intense combat and made it out alive without any bodily damage, the mental anguish changes these young men into emotionless animals who may never be capable of…

Sarajevo, a gleaming city seen as a model to the rest of former European communist countries, was being torn apart during the middle of the 20th century by the very people that made it the model city it was. The people of Rwanda, tired after years of violence and war, turns back from their signed peace agreement and…
