“Hitler’s concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much‚ so he claimed‚ to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America’s extermination – by starvation and uneven combat – of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity.” (Toland).

800‚000 people died in the Rwandan Genocide. Since it lasted 100 days‚ about 8‚000 people died every day.

I can compare the Red Cross to only one person‚ Greg Mortenson. Here are some similarities and differences from both upstanders. To start off‚ who is Greg Mortenson? He is a person who sold everything he owned to help build schools in Pakistan. He
