Two courses of action, it was argued, were required. First, crypto-Judaism could only be overcome by the introduction of an Inquisition; second, Jewish influence over the conversos could only be overcome by their expulsion. These ideas, adumbrated in works such as Alonso de Espina's Fortalitium Fidei, continued to gain ground, and on 27 September 1480 the Catholic Monarchs appointed Inquisitors in Castile who began their work in Seville shortly after (1481).

Once again, she is an example of someone who believed in something and did something about it. Some may argue that it’s hard…

Concentration camps were made to keep people who were against Hitler and “different” away. “Different” people meaning Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and criminals. The first camps were established in Germany as soon as Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor on January 1933. Concentration camps were being established all over Germany, and later all over Europe.

Cockroaches. Dogs. These names made it easier. They made it easier to senselessly kill not only thousands, but millions without thinking. Without even blinking an eye. How did they do it? How did the Germans slaughter over six million Jews? How did the Hutu militia murder over eight hundred thousand people in what is the fastest killing spree in history? They were simply underestimated. No one could have foreseen what devastation the oppressors brought. The Germans and the Hutu used the eight…

When you hear the word “genocide,” you probably think of the 6 million Jewish people that were brutally murdered by the Nazis during WWII, but you don’t think of the other 5 million innocent people that were killed the exact same way.

Russian did not allow the, to cross-examine the miscreants.

authority figure there instructing them to do so. Another historical event that this helps explain is the holocaust. The holocaust was the genocide of the Jewish people. It was led by Adolf Hitler. In 1941 the Germans began mass transports of Jews to Ghettos. They began the first of the mass gassings in 1942. They had five mass killing centers all throughout…

At the very least, in what is likely the Allies biggest failure in responding to the Holocaust, visa quotas for entry into Britain and the United States should have been filled. The United States, traditionally isolationist in policy, had imposed tight limits to immigration with its 1924 Immigration and Nationality Act. These limits were not loosened, despite a multitude of applications and the growing awareness throughout the 1930s of Germany’s systematic discrimination and state-sponsored…
