It is all but memories.

Zuzana Gruenberger

1. What was your best memory of your days in school?
2. I understand it is painful to speak about the subject but, if you could describe the taking of your father and brother in one word, what would it be?
3. What went through your head when you were on the train? did you really believe you were going to a great place?
4. Would you describe your childhood as a  happy or sad one?
5. Who was your role model?

Show & tell !

This is a brass compass which was utilized during WWII. These compasses were a key item to have by your side. Many times at night soldiers would get lost or even at sunlight it was hard to tell which way one was going. These compasses were actually no that expensive. They came in a brass finish and with a white carrying pouch. Many soldiers saw them as a very meaningful item and took very good care of them. Grandfathers many times give their grandsons these special items from war on their birthdays and on holidays, maybe someday it can help them somehow.

The powerful Unites States & Genocide.

In other countries the US is viewed s practically the "big cheese". When people in smaller, less fortunate countries hear the name of our country they practically melt. They're eyes start to shine and hope suddenly becomes the main word in their minds. There is big general stereotype that we are powerful and that we can do anything. But is that necessarily true? Well i believe not. Should we get involved in other countries affairs? Now that's a very controversial topic. When it comes to genocide we don't think that it is still going on today. But believe it or not it is. Now should we get involved in interventions in these countries? i think it depends. If it isn't something too big then i think not. Those countries should figure out a way to try and solve those problems someway somehow. In such cases the US should worry about US citizens in those countries and try to get them home and safe  as soon as possible. Now if the matter comes into bigger problems then yes. The US and countries like it do have the power to intervene and try to do something about it. While this topic will always remain very controversial i think it is something very delicate and should be dealt with it in a very careful manner.
