Katarina Tepesh’s harrowing and engagingly straightforward account of her family history in communist Croatia and then in the United States after fleeing an abusive and alcoholic father in 1968 should be added to the shelf of memoirs of such family legacy, both for the new information it adds as well as for the story it continues to tell. This is the familiar story of the legacy of family trauma, alcoholism, and abuse—and as old as Original Sin. Since the mid-1990s, there has been a rise

mankind can fall… the most horrible place of torture in the history of man… hell on earth. It was the work of hatred, work of evil, and work of the devil himself;” as stated by a Jasenovac survivor.

crimes committed in Europe since World War II. In 1993, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia was formed with the goal of punishing perpetrators who carried out acts of genocide and crimes against humanity in the wars in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina and to prevent any such atrocities from ever occurring again. One of the most significant and high-profile trials of this tribunal was that of Slobodan Milosevic, the former president of both Serbia and the former Yugoslavia
country began to collapse during the fall of communism in the early 1990s” (Holocaust Museum Houston). This quote is a very truthful one. Many people in this world probably have never even heard of the Bosnian Genocide. It was a very tragic time in history that could have been prevented if people didn’t have so much pride and arrogance like Slobodan Milosevic did. In 1989, Slobodan Milosevic became president of the Republic of Serbia. Milosevic envisioned a pure Serb dominated state. He soon started
again. However, this war, unlike the two previous Balkan wars that were fought against the occupiers, was a civil one.

Many causes led to this outcome, some of which were death of Josip Broz Tito, the great Yugoslav leader and the fall of socialism after The Cold War
The Bosnian Genocide: It was Completely Preventable Imagine if today there was an attempt by a major military power to violently slaughter and exile the native people of a neighboring country, using the same tactics the Nazis used in the Holocaust. Surely there would be a worldwide uproar, and powerful nations would organize to stop the violent annexation and genocide, right? Unfortunately, such an event has already happened, practically within the last twenty years. Despite the fact that many people

King Arthur or know someone he was based off of. King Arthur was not real because it was not recorded in history that there was ever a “King Arthur.” Even though it is argued widely throughout history that King Arthur is non-fictional, it is not true. To deem King Arthur a non-fictional person there should be written records that he was born and that he died. There are people farther back in history that have birth and death records. Just because people want him to be real they will depict anything with
so basic to human nature that we do not want to believe that we all have it in us. How can a civilized world stand in silence or indifference before evil's embodiment, whether at Auschwitz, Cambodia, Rwanda, or Srebrenica? It is cliché to say that history teaches us not to repeat the mistakes of our predecessors, but now, in a supposedly more educated society, we are seeing the terrors orchestrated by Hitler manifested all over the world. I believe that the mass terror of the sort practiced by the
