Many Jews had tough experiences during the Holocaust, especially the children at the time that faced challenges that they should have never encountered. The timeline of Henoch Kornfeld represents how young children were effected by the Holocaust at such a young age.

With the overall theme of dehumanization, much of the topic of death and abuse is avoided. Shown by this picture it is notable how people were killed and just taken away as if they were items not humans since they were stacked one on top of the other.

Beginning in March 2011, mass demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad occurred that demanded democratic reforms for the Syrians. The regime reacted with violence and later escalated to a full-scale civil war as Syria’s Sunni Muslims borne the brunt of the Syrian government’s campaign of mass atrocities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Syria's population-22.5 million before the conflict-is ethnically and religiously diverse. Approximately three quarters are Sunni Muslims, including the Syrian Kurds, who make up about 9% of the population. An estimated 12% of Syrians belong to the Alawite sect, an off-shoot of Shia Islam. Historically subjected to severe persecution, the Alawites now count among their members Syria's current and previous president, and they dominate the Syrian security forces and army officer corps. Christians, Druze, and Ismaili and Twelver Shia make up the other principal religious minorities.

Beginning in March 2011, in the midst of the Arab Spring, Syrians staged mass demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad, demanding democratic reforms. The regime reacted with lethal violence, which provoked an armed response, and by mid-2012 the country was in the midst of a full-scale civil war.

Although the opposition was majority Sunni, the uprising was originally nonsectarian and featured calls for a pluralistic democracy that would protect the rights of all Syrians. It has since taken on sectarian dimensions, and civilians have been targeted for atrocities based on their religious affiliation. President Assad intentionally sought this transformation to justify his continued hold on power by playing to the religious minorities' fear of persecution should the Sunni majority take power.

Claiming the rebels were Sunni Islamist terrorists, President Assad deployed largely Alawite elements of the security forces to rain terror on Sunni neighborhoods and civilians. He recruited and armed local Alawite militias, which have subjected their Sunni neighbors to kidnapping, torture, sexual violence, and massacres. These atrocities radicalized many in the Sunni rebel forces and exacerbated the hostility of Syria's Sunnis not only toward the Alawites but also toward the other religious minorities, whose failure to side with the rebels was viewed as support for the regime.

The conflict also attracted thousands of foreign jihadi fighters to battle against the Assad regime, as well as militiamen from Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan to fight alongside it. The presence of the former-highlighted in reports by both the international and state-run media-seemed to confirm for Syria's religious minorities Assad's warning that a far worse fate awaits them if he is overthrown.

The conflict's toll has not been limited to armed actors but is falling increasingly on unarmed civilians. The UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic has accumulated "massive evidence" of widespread crimes against humanity and war crimes committed against civilians by Syrian government and pro-government forces, while also documenting the role of anti-government forces in war crimes and gross violations of human rights. As the conflict has escalated, Syrian government forces have redoubled their use of siege as a strategy of war, intensifying the humanitarian toll for those civilians who remain in opposition-controlled or contested territories.

There has been a long history of tension between the Tutsi and Hutu ethnic groups in Rwanda despite the fact they both speak the same language, follow similar traditions and live side by side. During the colonial period in Rwanda, the Belgians favored the minority Tutsis, and gave them many advantages over the majority Hutus.  This later caused thousands Tutsis to be massacred when a Hutu extremist–led government launched a plan to wipe out the country’s entire Tutsi minority and any others who opposed its policies.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In 1994, Rwanda's population of 7 million was composed of three ethnic groups: Hutu (approximately 85 percent), Tutsi (14 percent) and Twa (1 percent). Between April and July 1994, at least 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus were slaughtered when a Hutu extremist-led government launched a plan to murder the country's entire Tutsi minority and any others who opposed the government's policies.

There is a longstanding history of tension between the Tutsi and Hutu ethnic groups in Rwanda, even though they speak the same language, follow similar traditions and live side by side. During the colonial period in Rwanda, the ruling Belgians favored the minority Tutsis, and gave them a range of advantages over the majority Hutus. They further divided the groups by requiring all Rwandans to carry identity cards that classified people by their ethnicity.

A Hutu revolution in 1959, supported by the Belgians, forced as many as 300,000 Tutsis to flee Rwanda, decreasing their numbers inside the country even further. In 1962, when Belgium granted Rwanda independence, the country was governed by political parties associated with the Hutu majority. Under Hutu rule, the Tutsis faced discrimination and violence, and thousands more fled to neighboring Burundi. It is estimated that by the mid-1960s, half of the Tutsi population was living outside Rwanda.

Within Rwanda, Hutu extremists among the country's political elite blamed the Tutsi population for the country's increasing social, economic, and political pressures. Civil war between Hutus and Tutsis broke out on October 2, 1990, when the Rwandan Patriot Front, the Tutsi rebel group, invaded Rwanda from the north. Hutu extremists accused all Tutsis of supporting the rebels operating outside the country.

Meanwhile, extremist Hutu leaders were secretly drawing up lists of Tutsi and moderate Hutu leaders to assassinate, and arming and training youth militias, who were responsible for some small-scale massacres These killings were documented by local and international human rights organizations as well as by a special envoy of the UN Commission on Human Rights. The Rwandan government said the killings were spontaneous and uncontrollable, and no one was brought to justice. The international community classified the violence as part of an internal conflict.

This civil war officially ended with the signing of the Arusha Accords, a power-sharing agreement, in August 1993. While Hutu leaders signed the agreement, its terms angered Hutu extremists, setting the stage for future violence. During this time, the extremists disseminated messages through the media telling their fellow Hutus that the Tutsis were planning a killing campaign against them. Radio RTLM, a private Hutu-owned radio station, relentlessly condemned Tutsis and their supporters, characterizing them as subhuman and calling them cockroaches. In this climate, beginning in 1993, Hutu political leaders began to import large numbers of machetes and distributed the weapons to the militias that supported them, the Interahamwe ("Those Who Attack Together") and the Impuzamugambi ("Those Who Have the Same Goal").
