Chechens eventually converted to Islam and ever since have vehemently resisted Russian control. Invariably uprising once a generation, they even collaborated with Nazi invaders in the ’40s. Comrade Stalin was so enraged about this betrayal that he called for genocidal mass deportations—and actually scattered millions of Chechens around the Soviet Union—yet the Chechen nation survived the dictator...
...Until now, murders and persecution of dark-skinned foreigners and Russian citizens of "wrong" ethnic origins had been the prerogative of the country's right-wing neo-Nazi groups. But as the state embarks on a vicious xenophobic campaign against Georgians, the Movement Against Illegal Immigration (NDPI), a key nationalist body known among the initiated as the Movement Against Non-Slav Immigration, eagerly called upon its followers to support the state in exposing "the enemy" wherever they can be found - at marketplaces, in offices, at homes.

"But I have to tell you that my generation here in Holland is moving toward seeing the U.S. the way we saw Nazi Germany in 1944." Astrid Rosenwirth, 25, an Austrian political-science student, lived in the U.S. for four years and likes lots about the country, including a "tolerance and inclusiveness that Austria will not have achieved 20 years from now. I met the most enlightened and open-minded people there," she says...
...OWNMIRIAM KATINThis tale of a Jewish woman hiding with her daughter during the Nazi occupation of Hungary seems even more remarkable since it is the author's own history. Katin, who was only 2 years old during the ordeal, shifts back and forth between her mother's incredible odyssey and her own life later on, dealing with the legacy of that experience. Richly illustrated in pencil, this book should not be missed by anyone with an interest in history, love or faith--so anyone, really...
