Exposition: 10-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen were normal girls living in Copenhagen, Denmark. When walking home from school one day with Kirsti, Annemarie’s sister, they ran into German soldiers...literally! The soldiers questioned the girls about what they were doing, and Annemarie told them. When the girls told their mother’s, they got upset. They were told to take a different route to and from school. The Nazi’s got more and more forceful with every passing day. When Annemarie went to get a button for Kirsti’s shoe, the shop was closed and Mrs. Hirsch wasn’t there and neither was her family there either.…
The article goes on to tell about the conditions of the children who are doomed to serve as a soldier. The children often don’t have a choice. They grew up with criminality, their psyches are damaged and often they are leaved by their parents. Instead of going to school or playing in a park, they have been “brainwashed” and work for the…

Multiple Tribes started forming as early B.C. These tribes brought new history toward us and we study them every day to find out their hidden secrets and the way they lived in the past. They brought us new technology, new ways to export and trade items. As one of the tribes began to rise to power, the Mongol’s located in China during B.C many other tribes were weaker than them. Although one could say that the Mongol’s were a strong empire, due to the faiths that they were cruel within their culture, battling, and trading, this made them barbaric.…
Guerrilla Girls message shows the corruption in the art world, and the lack of human rights for women and children all over the world, especially in areas of war and conflict, making them apoplectic. They have shown it is always two steps forward one step back, however feminism is changing the lives of women around the globe, slowly in most places, and significantly in others.

"Today every girl is endangered, not just those who have been physically and sexually abused. If girls with positive role models are at risk, imagine then how vulnerable are the girls who have been violated. No wonder they so often go under for good- ending up marriages, in prison, on the streets. More than half of women in prison are addicts and most are there for crimes directly related to their addiction. Many who are there murdered men who had been battering them for years. Almost all of the women who are homeless or in prisons and mental institutions are the victims of male violence" (Kilbourne…
The threat of violence is enough to make sure that women behave in a certain way- what they wear, where they go- even if they are not a direct victim- they feel the fear and act accordingly…

The book makes it pretty clear that they had no issue with killing them. The videos we watched in class also gave vivid descriptions of what took place in the camps. The Nazis did not struggle with this decision in the least bit.…
Female roles in the concentration camps were just as heart wrenching and terrifying as the men’s roles. Women took the harsh punishment on a different emotional level then the men; “The gender-specific humiliation of women forced to undress in front of strange men is also noted in the diaries and memoirs of their husbands, fathers and sons, who were also distraught at the intentional degradation and mortification of their women.” (Ofer, 30) Females were no exception to the Holocaust brutality. Women were treated as if they were men, with back-breaking labor. The females were naturally more fragile and vulnerable, making the Holocaust experience for them just as, or more traumatizing then the men’s.…
Discrimination is common among girls and women. Throughout early childhood, about 70 percent of school-age girls, do not attend school, while 94 percent of girls are not even registered births (Swanson & Swanson, 2011). The men are the soliders. They are taught at a young age how to kill. “in the minds of Afghan men, are already believed to be potentially (or likely) promiscuous” (Afghanistan, n.d).…
The Nazi guards were very cruel to the captives. They enjoyed torturing, taunting, and even killing them for pleasure.…
During the Holocaust, the Nazis perceived women as weak, inferior, and sexual objects because they were useless in contributing to the warfare. An example is the way Jewish women were treated by the Nazis during the Holocaust. As a result, the Nazis viewed Jewish women as an agent of fertility, motherhood, and homebuilders. During the Holocaust, women were considered useless, especially pregnant women and mothers of small children, due to the fact that they were unable to participate in tasks of the war. This counts for the fact as to why Jewish women were subjugated by the Nazis on a sexually violent level, such as rape, being sexually humiliated, and dehumanized. The Nazi pattern of sexual-violence started against Jewish women during the…

Did you know, that in Germany, boys and girls were taught separately when they were young? Young boys and young girls were taught different things and different ways. They even went to different schools. The youth in Nazi Germany were only taught things that would help the Nazi’s in the future. Most of the time, they were left in the dark about a lot of things. They were raised, learning about Nazi ideas and eugenics. Little did they know, they would be apart of a huge event that changed the world forever and gave a new meaning to the name “Holocaust”.…
