(Auschwitz-Birkenau museum online) The raw number itself absolutely staggering, too large for any human being to wrap their minds around. It is a large enough number to inspire skepticism, disbelief, and outrage. To this day, decades after the fact, there are still those who deny that any of it ever happened because the numbers are just too big. It is better

The phrase “British culture” is often used carelessly, as if it completely and comprehensively defines all of the 63 million people living in Great Britain as well as their culture. People who use terms such as this either willingly or unconsciously forget the fact that Great Britain is a culturally diverse country, the biggest representative of this being its largest and most populated city – London. In order to understand things better, we should take a few steps backwards and attempt to define

those who are foreigners to conventional white American culture by reading a pair of works of literature, Nella Larsen's Passing and James McBride's The Color of Water. Despite the fact that Larsen's tale is largely fictional whereas McBride's narrative is an autobiographical work based on his life as an African American and his mother's life as a white woman, each sheds a considerable amount of insight into the process of adapting to traditional American culture.

The Treaty of Versailles, Weimar Republic, and Hitler’s

In Theory, the V-2 was a unmanned guided ballistic missile that was capable of killing hundreds of people from approximately two hundred miles away; however, the V-2 rockets only killed an average of two people per missile due to considerable inaccuracy in the somewhat primitive guidance system. As a result, the V-2 rocket may have harmed the Germans more than it aided them; due to the fact that the cost

The American Dream originates from the “Declaration of Independence:” “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” It promised a better life to everyone despite their backgrounds and financial state.

Through the course of history, the Jewish people have been mistreated, condemned, robbed, even put to death because of their religion. In the Middle Ages, they were forced to wear symbols on their clothing, identifying them as Jews. The dates 1933 to 1945 marked the period of the deadly Holocaust in which many atrocities were committed against the Jewish people and minority groups not of Aryan descent. Six million innocent Jews were exterminated because of Hitler’s “Final Solution.” This paper

‘literature’, they prove Deconstructionism’s point: J.K. Rowling did not intend to encourage ‘Satanism’ or anything of the like, but some extremely religious people took offense at her writing and derived that meaning from her books.
