To begin, “genocide” is seen differently by everyone involved and has specific steps. In Bosnia, conflicting views created tension amongst its citizens The eight stages of genocide…

and committed suicide on April 30,1945. This despicable man made significant changes throughout history. He did a couple good things here and there like anti-smoking campaigns but he did way more harm, than he did good. You can not think of the Holocaust without thinking about Adolf’s hatred towards jews. His hatred towards the jews was because he thought “Jews were responsible for sending the world into its first world war, causing over 100,000 deaths of German soldiers.” In fact he hated…

Japanese War Crimes in WWII: Injustice and Immunity Germany was responsible for a great deal of atrocities that took place in WWII, but not all. Among the many evils committed by Nazis is the experimentation that took place in concentration and death camps. However, Germans were not alone in their efforts to scientifically progress at the expense of others. Another nation, one allied with Germany during WWII, was not unfamiliar with human experimentation. Japan. In the 1930s, Japan…

Think about all the horrible events of humans versus humans. There are many examples of horrible events, such as the Holocaust. Those are gross violations of human rights yet many just let it go on since it is simple to disassociate from problems that don’t directly affect you. Guatemala had not been excluded from this man versus man conflict; the US had forced leaders into Guatemala. This caused uproar of Guatemala’s people. Those rights were infringed. Rigoberta acknowledged a corrupt…

Despite this, native minorities in the Iberian Peninsula maintained hope that the Islamic Empire would benefit their situation, an expectation that the Muslim conquerors soon fulfilled. Beginning an age of Iberian prosperity and establishing a flourishing empire, the Umayyad imperialism of…

In Yael Zerubavel’s, compelling and eye opening book Recovered Roots, the author attempts to explore the reconstruction of Jewish nationalism, myths and identities socially constructed by Zionist leaders across several decades. She does so by analysing themes critical to the study of Jewish history such as iconic heroism, collective sacrifice and the creation of Israeli national identity through narrative reconstruction as well as the reinterpretation of ancient Jewish military defeats such as…

During the Holocaust, the SS Nazis dehumanized the Jews to the point of them feeling so belittled and like they were absolutely nothing. Eli Wiesel’s book Night gives many examples of this. Many Jews started referring to the others as “creatures”. Eli talks like this in his book: “The old men stayed in their corner, silent, motionless, hunted-down creatures. There they prayed” (70). He refers to a couple old veterans as “hunted-down creatures” because in the end, that’s how they all felt. They…

“There were the erased pages of Mein Kampf, gagging, suffocating under the paint as they turned.” In The Book Thief, there are many things that show us the power of words. I believe that the Book Thief expressed the Power of Words through persuasion, imagery, and action with words. Firstly, I think that The Book Thief shows the power of persuasion.
