Behind Barbed Wire
Most people associate concentration camps with Nazi Germany. Behind Barbed Wire examines how these notorious World War II camps actually reflected a previous use of the system, a system that began almost a century earlier. In truth, Adolf Hitler had studied the American Indian Reservations as he plotted his regime's attack on European Jews and other minorities. Remarkably, in the years between the reservations and the Nazi camps, the United States, along with several other Western powers, implemented concentration camps throughout the globe, each instance employing more and more barbaric measures with harsher and harsher outcomes.

Colonial Paradigms of Violence
European Holocaust Studies (EHS) publishes key international research results on the murder of the European Jews and its wider contexts. In recent years, scholars have rediscovered Hannah Arendt`s "boomerang thesis" – the "coming home" of European colonialism as genocide on European soil – as well as Raphael Lemkin`s work around his definition of genocide and the importance of its colonial dimensions.

The novels examined could a...

Deborah
Up until the middle of her sopho-more year, Deborah had attended Henley Aca-demy, a k12 school for students with learning dis-abilities. Even though she loves her school, the staff, and every-one, Deborah was unable to finish her sopho-more year, due to being diag-nosed with brain cancer. Instant-ly after she was diag-nosed, she was admitted into the hospital that she would call home for a while. Moving on, after a plethora of chemo and radiation treat-ments, and plenty of surger-ies later, Deborah was pronoun-ced cancer free last Thurs-day, and was instantly enrolled back into Henley. The only people who knew about this were her parents, teach-ers, and best friends, Riker, Lizzie, and Colton.As she got out of the car, closed the door, and waved at her mom, Deborah made her way to the main building.
