Internment Camps
After watching the Nanking film I actually realized how the Americans could be so racist against the japanese because of all of the actions they participated in. However I do not think that he Americans should have put them into camps. I find that to be absolutely degrading and unfair because these were American Japanese. And I feel that putting them into camps is going against what we're fighting for later on, and that was getting the Jewish out of camps in Germany. And although we did not burn and work them to death, it is still the idea of isolating one race. And that is not what we are about in America. I think that these camps were a complete mistake and I do not understand why we would do that, even if they were our enemies. They are still people, real people.

The most horrifying movie in my life
So I know that his might be somewhat extreme but I now finally realize why he americans were so negatively racist towards the Japanese. As we watched the events of the attack on Nanking unfold my stomach dropped, my eyes filled with tears, and my heart broke. The Japanese stormed into the capital thinking that they could what they wanted and they wanted it. They destroyed homes and businesses and then looted them. The Japanese took everything that they wanted. When thy found men thyr would tie them up in groups of tens and bayonet them to death. Or machine gun them by the thousands. What got me the most though, was hearing about all of the rapings that occured. 20,000 accounted acts of rape occured during the taking over of Nanking. 20,000 girls my age (17) and younger were being taken out of their homes and forced to be tied up while men took their turns. Then they would kill them, slowly and painfully. Most accounts involved girls from 14 to 12. I could never imagine what that could be like. And I immediately felt sympathy for them because these were girls my age and younger. I couldn't even comprehend what that must have been like, and then to live through it? Another story that really opened my eyes was when a man was telling the story of his mother and baby brother. And how the Japanese soldier stab the baby and threw him off. And beat his mother. And watched his mother die right before his eyes. At age 9. How would you be able to get through that? I wouldn't.

Adolf Hitler Avatar
This is my version of Adolf Hitler. I would first like to point out that I know his hair is the wrong way and yes it bothers me too because I tried everything to see if I could switch it. Anyway, I am not the biggest fan of Adolf Hitler. I think that he is an incredibly cruel man. I do realize that the Treaty of Versailles was not fair at all to Germany however, I think that Hitler is going too far with his revenge. Especially with the Blitz on London because he ordered his air raid to destroy the whole city including citizens. Because of him, several innocent civilians lost their lives in this unnecessary event. And then he starts the holocaust which we all know was a disgusting and horrifying series of events. Overall, Hitler is a terribly repulsive man and I cannot believe that everyone in the world let him go on for as long as he did.
