Tadmor military prison in Syria still use the medieval methods of torture on the guilty and innocent, being dragged by a rope till dead or beaten to death by pipes. But the massacre of June 27 1980 killing 500 prisoners for no reason by the guards and is the worst known massacre to happen. The worst prison in the world is the ADX Florence Supermax prison in Colorado, the use of slow and inhumane torture. Inmates only let out for 9 hours a week and rarely get to interact with other inmates with
Any genocide in history is important because a lot of people died in cruel and unusual ways and it’s wrong. Victims of any genocide did not deserve to be discriminated against and did nothing to deserve to be killed from pure hate, and that is exactly what happened in the Ukraine Famine. The Ukraine Famine was headed by Joseph Stalin during 1932-1933. Millions Ukrainian people starved to death and as a result, it oppressed the national pride of the Ukrainian people. In 1929, Stalin arrested over 5,000 educated Ukrainian people and they were either shot without trail or sent to prison camps in remote areas in Russia.
One night the mom had to put all their clothes on themselves just to stay warm. For the people living in the camp, life was the worst it had ever been. The camp they were staying at wasn’t even ready for people to live there. The food was always spoiled which made it hard to eat. Also, the chefs were mostly people who had never cooked in their life.
Therefore, because people were so undernourished they had many diseases which became epidemics. Many people weren’t having enough vitamin c therefore resulting in them having scurvy, other diseases became epidemics; influenza, small pox and syphilis due to poor living conditions. Also, due to poor conditions the infant mortality rate was high and many children did not make it to their fifteenth birthday while life expectancy for adults was mid-thirties. Poor people died so young because their living conditions were terrible. They lived in their own filth and waste because there were no sewers or drainage to take it away, even when they threw it out of the house it would drain into the nearby rivers.
Under Joseph Stalin, millions of prisoners in these camps died from starvation and abuse.” Ivan Denisovich, a survivor of these has gone through these camps for ten years. Many people could not endure this type of pain, bur Ivan did. Overall Ivan has gone through things people shouldn’t have to. Not many people know about the gulags, but they should because these people went through the same amount of pain as the holocaust. Ivan was beat senselessly and one could not even begin to imagine what they went through.
Also more persecution happened the next day as Jewish communities were asked to pay $1 million marks in reparations to what took place on that night . In 1940 the Warsaw Ghetto came into use which could hold 400,000 Jews and was the death to 500,000, this was used as a holding point for the Treblinka death camp, This was violent persecution as death occurred and Human rights were removed this is shown in the way that many Jews starved to death and were dehydrated they were offered less than 200 calories a day. Violent persecution can also be seen in the way the Nazis treated the Jews when they were in the Ghetto, The Jews were often beaten by the Nazis as it gave them a sense of satisfaction In 1942 the Wannsee conference took place where the final solution was devised and the construction of the death camps increased. This was extermination of the Jews as the sole purpose was to eradicate them, This is shown as the death toll increased since the Wannsee conference as well as the construction. This is seen in the August of 1942 where 6000 Jews died in Auschwitz to a previous 100 Jews in
Some of the different reasons that the prisoners went crazy were because living and sleeping conditions became intolerable, social and cultural movements outside prisons encouraged the rebelling. The inmates were only entitled to one shower a week and one roll of toilet paper a month. The warden was insensitive and cruel and the guards beat the prisoners. The prisoners were demanding for improvements in the conditions of living as well as educational and training opportunities. This lasted for four days when state police and National Guard troops bum rushed into the prison.
Majority of the people would agree with this statement because most of the time factories conditions were grim. There were no health and safety rules and regulations, the stench in the factory or mill made many children and workers sick, the rooms were hot, humid and unsanitary, with air full of cotton dust. Source A shows women workers in a cycle factory in Coventry in the 1890s. The man on the left is the supervisor. None of the machines have safety guards.
Unfortunately, because of such extreme poverty and no resources for food, the Batwa are disappearing. Those that have chosen to integrate into society are faced with constant discrimination and prejudice. “Batwa children say they dislike going to school because other children throw things at them and call them dogs” (Matthews, 2006, Para 12). The degrading has been so horrific that the Batwa people are ashamed of whom they are. In 1906 a young man named Ota Benga, lived one of the most degrading and appalling 12 years any one person could ever live.
There would be no relief for front line troops for weeks on end. A near miss from an artillery shell could collapse a trench or cause dugouts to collapse burying alive those inside. The nearness of death, the fear of it and smell of it, the horrific sights of shattered bodies, the screams of friends cut in half and the constant shelling combined to send many men insane either at the time or later in life. Considering all these conditions, I think the worst thing about being in the trenches was the diseases which spread like wildfire throughout the trenches, due to the unhygienic conditions. There was also no way of preventing these diseases from spreading, as the medic’s in the trenches barely had any medicine to treat all of soldiers who caught diseases.
