The event I went to was part of the Rockhurst visiting scholar lecture series, that featured Eva Mozes Kor a survivor of the Holocaust. This event was divided into three different parts by Eva Kor: how she survived the Holocaust, the lessons she has learned, and at the very end when she finished her lecture she took a few questions.

Nazi Germany is infamous for the stories that came out of the brutality they displayed to the Jewish people. Japan is also very well known for their treatment of American Prisoners of War. Although both forces were, in fact, very savage in their ways, one can argue that the Japanese were ultimately more vicious toward the Allied Powers than the Nazis. The Nazis were very severe in the ways that they…
