WELCOME
“History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes” (Karl Marx). They say that ‘man is his own worst enemy’. Human faults and discrimination are bringing down life as we know it. Take for instance the Holocaust, a genocide that lasted twelve years in Europe during the German rule of Adolf Hitler. Even more recently, the Islamic terrorist group ISIS (established in 2004) has conducted countless barbaric genocides against those who do not fit the ideal description of the people fit for a muslim-only country, and multiple homicides of outsiders who dare get in their way. The topics of discrimination and inactivity in today’s world will be discussed and compared with the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel. We'd all like to know, "Is history repeating itself?"
