Darfur is really a region is western Sudan, Africa. Since 2003, Sudanese government soldiers fought rebel troops in this area. However, the government’s assaults have been receiving civilians of the same ethnic groups since the rebels. These racially and ethnically based attacks drove over 2.5 million civilians from other homes. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum declared a genocide emergency in Darfur in 2004.
North Korea remains a mysterious and oppressive state underneath the rule of Kim Jong-il. North Koreans lack the basic necessities for survival for instance a healthy diet and even enough food. Just a decade ago, North Korea suffered with a famine killing no less than 500,000, citizens. Concentration camps happens to North Korea for folks and families speaking out from the government or Kim Jong-il. Camp 22 could be the largest known concentration camp in North Korea, spotted by satellite images. Prisoners are exposed to the gas chamber, hangings and torture.
Connect the storyline of Anne Frank with all the modern world from the situations in Darfur and North Korea. Middle schoolers miss these crimes happen in our world today. I taught eighth grade English for three years, and this is always one of most impactful lessons from the year.
