5. What similarities from other countries or historical events do you see?
At the end of World War II, North Korea started building concentration camps, just like the Nazis, where they send “political criminals.” They don’t just send individuals either; if you commit what Kim-Jong il deems criminal, you and your whole family are sent to these camps for the rest of your life. There you will have barely any food or none, if you don’t work hard enough. You are forced to work as a slave in often dangerous working conditions, you run the risk of being raped or experimented on, you will likely be tortured, and you are more likely to die than ever be released or escape. This information is similar to the movie Hotel Rwanda because women of Tutsis were being raped for being their cast. Women of Tutsis were being tortured for example) Pregnant women would get their stomach slit open, while the Hutu men took out the baby and killed it right in front of their mothers eyes.
