I don’t remember anything much.… I just felt vacant.”— Osuke Takizawa, Tanforan Assembly Center, San Bruno. The Japanese were considered prisoners and didn’t get everything that they needed. But the U.S. government was scared of spies and disloyalty to the United States. I don’t understand why they are considered prisoners. They didn’t

How to Split a “Pie” A pie, a knife and the people behind it. The pie represents Africa and the knife used by Europeans is what split it up. Africa was split up and divided among all of the European countries, they did whatever they could to dice it up too.

argues that certain patterns of persecution in the tenth through twelfth centuries were not the result of shifts in the opinions of masses or a reaction against real and growing threats from specific groups, as had been assumed, but were the direct result of "the decisions of princes and prelates."

The Painted Bird, written by Jerzy Kosinski, follows the perspective of a young boy throughout World War II. To keep him protected and to decrease the threat of being taken by Nazi soldiers, his parents send him to another village under the care of an elderly woman. After his foster mother dies, the six year old boy is forced to travel from village to village in search of food and shelter.

Christians are being hurt, killed, or hunted, all because they believe in something different. “In 2016, 90,000 Christians were killed. 30% of which was at the hands of Islamic terrorists.” (Prestigiacomo, 2017, Page 1).
