Jewish Refuges Vs. Huguenot Refugees
Comparison

A few things that the Jewish Refugees and the Huguenot Refugees have in common is that both organized a protestant way back when, and both were not accepted into most countries. Sadly, most Jewish Refugees and Huguenot Refugees are homeless, forced to sleep without shelters, or some families have a shelter, but it’s not suitable for living in.

    The following two articles provide a classic example of the tension that exists within current historiography of the Holocaust. Both seek to define the Holocaust upon different criteria, of which ultimately devalues different groups that experienced Nazi persecution. Sybil Milton’s, “Gypsies and the Holocaust” details the history of the Gypsies under the Nazi movement. Milton’s article is a convincing argument for the inclusion of the Gypsies and as a by-product, the handicapped, as victims of the Holocaust. Milton provides a detailed history of the Nazi treatment of the Gypsies, from their placement in Zigeunerlager (special internment camps for Gypsies) prior to 1939, to their biological registration, relocation, incarceration in concentration…

    Does Velta’s friend and her family stay in Latvia? Are Velta and her friend reunited? Is Uncle Maris really kicked out of Velta’s home? Although I would like to know the answers to these questions, I felt that the content that was read was more important than the content that was not read. The issue of immigration in Latvia during Velta’s childhood is very similar to what is happening across the world today. Many immigrants are trying to find a country willing to accept them so they can escape from war-torn homes. How many times have I heard family members or others speak about the Syrian refugees like Uncle Maris spoke about the immigrants coming into Latvia? It is difficult to understand others’ unwillingness to allow asylum seekers into the United States after hearing stories of how much they have suffered already. Velta had heard all about the suffering of the Jewish people, much as we are told about the suffering of the Syrian people. Yet, many Americans refuse to empathize, choosing to hold on to their attitudes of discrimination. Instead of focusing on conspiracy theories about the incoming Syrian refugees, many Americans should read Gina Ochsner book or one like it. Immigration is an emotional journey as well as a physical journey. Those asking for asylum want to feel safe and accepted, not turned away because of racial and religious differences. As Christians, we should help those in need regardless where someone comes from or what they believe in. I believe this small part of Ochsner’s book gave a powerful insight into the struggles of an immigrant family and the effect of just one person’s discrimination can have on a…

    The American Holocaust: The Conquest of the New World retells the story about the invasion and occupation of the Americas by western Europeans, but it is told in a way that I have never heard before. From the first Spanish assault against the Arawak people to the US army’s massacre of the Sioux Indians, the indigenous inhabitants of north and south America have endured a great deal of racism slavery, cruelty, brutality, and murder. Author David Stannard does an excellent job of putting everything into view and seeing that what you were thought in junior high is nothing compared to what the indigenous people actually faced. This books contents are remarkably well researched, and its graphic and explicit contents are incredibly convincing.…

    The refugees are more likely to have the common support in our community because of the misconceptions about homeless people being associated with drugs and other personal consequences. Refugees were once a group of human beings who were free and had rights like everybody else until they were stripped away from them, which leads us to sympathize with refugees more than with homeless people who probably ended up in such a situation because of drug abuse, disregarding their education and etc;. Also, there are organizations and charities (that includes soup kitchens and shelters) which have been built to help the homeless in Canada, but refugees do not have that opportunity unless the government do something about them and help them start anew…
