Romani people

The romani people is one of Europe's most discriminated minorities, both today and from a historical perspective. Throughout history, they have been discriminated, enslaved, violated and segregated from the majority population. Most European countries today currently ban ethnic discrimination in their legislation. Discrimination, stigmatization and violence against the romani people in most of the European countries are still extensive and a major human rights issue. They are a very exposed group and are largely based on their lack of access to the welfare system of the recipient country. Article 45 of the European Union states that citizens may move freely within the territory of the Member States. The free movement among Eu makes it easier…

The Holocaust was a terrifying and terrible moment in history in which 11 million people had their lives stolen from them. That’s a little more than half the entire population of Florida in 2015, according to the United States Census Bureau. 6 million of these victims were Jews and the other 5 million consisted of a cocktail of different groups the Nazis deemed “inferior”.

Perhaps the most dreadful event in recent history is the tragedy that befell the world during the Holocaust. Throughout a twelve year period, the Nazis were able to wreak havoc and torture innocent people purely because of their “inferiority”. The Nazi ideology was rooted in the idea that the German race was superior to all, and this state of mind was behind all of the atrocities that took place in Germany and surrounding areas. While the majority of the worst travesties took place during the…

I chose to continue my research on John Singer Sargent for my final paper because of his strong interest in the female image. I wanted to know why Sargent chose women as his main subjects.

In this essay I will be discussing his works, the history of the paintings and the meaning behind the…

Now is it right or wrong that's what you believe, but this camp gassed people with toxins to kill them to make their death slow and painful. Why so they could suffer for their “wrong…

II and the Holocaust, the Nazis created at least 1000 ghettos just in Poland and the Soviet Union alone for the millions of Jews they penned up (“Types”).
