"If a way to the better there be, it exacts a full look at the worst."

If you lost the article:

The article that I gave you in class has a lot of references to historical events you may not know about. I encourage you to look around for information. Here are a few reliable starting places:

The Katyn Massacre - http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cold.war/episodes/01/spotlight/index.html

The Gulag Archipelago - http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/03/01/home/solz-gulag.html

Theresienstadt (more commonly known as Terezin in the US) -

http://history1900s.about.com/library/holocaust/aa012599.htm

Uganda (this refers to the Ugandan genocide) -

Youtube has some good videos on these topics too:
