I remember in elementary school in the 1970s in the encyclopedia (Britannica I think), they had these plastic pages with the drawing of human respiratory system, nervous system, brain parts, and skeleton structures of the human body. These drawings I found out later were the direct result from Nazi Concentration Camp doctors who experimented on their prisoners.
This article is looking back at a situation through the eyes of today.
The problem was that the people (adults and children) that were affected, were isolated from mainstream society. Pushed off into camps or out into the wilderness, or locked behind closed doors, far from watchful eyes (mental institutions) of the public.
There are many things that divide humans beings, belief systems, culture, race, wealth and sex.
These things are all different.
Today we still have poor and rich, male and female and some extra sexual orientations. Religions are numerous, and there are numerous cultures even within your local neighbourhood. Racism still exists today and it will continue into the future.
The one thing that stands out for the past is the attitude that the authority was always right and the authority at times used violence to enforce its discipline. Prime example was the strap used in schools. Step outside the boundaries set and action/violence soon followed behind. I think that it was in the 90s that the bully issue were first being addressed in schools, but that same bullying still happens today.
The internet became widely available due to computers in the 90s. As the internet became faster and more capable, information was becoming more and more available. People could be more informed on events. Search engines became better. But that also can be misdirected.
For any event that happened in history, its just not 1 reason for why the event happened; there could be many reasons.
Truth and Reconciliation
Truth---- is a double edged sword, and from which side you look at the truth from. Look at the facts.
Reconciliation: I really hate this word, what is it trying to say? I think its very vague and misleading. LIke the double edged sword. Just google it. Is it seeking accomodation, appeasment, compromise, or understanding....
