.... per Wilson's thirteenth point Poland was re-formed with access to the Baltic Sea, which went right through Germany. Giving Poland Sea access split Germany into two parts, the main part of Germany, and a small portion to the North of the Danzig corridor.

.... preparation, inconsiderate of the criticism which was definite to follow. A main concern of the United States was its 1,000 citizens on the island. Of these citizens, 600 were medical students at St. George University. Because of the political turmoil, the U.S. stated to its public that the students and citizens on Grenada were in danger. President Reagan also stated to the press that there was no way for our citizens to get off the island.

.... commission has been set up." The Soviets had withheld all information about the accident for over 36 hours and still did not reveal the scope of the disaster when they did finally acknowledge what had happened. We now believe that "at least 27 cities and villages near the Chernobyl nuclear plant are too contaminated by radioactivity to be resettled in the foreseeable future; and that "the radiation released stretched world wide (1). We also know that the explosion and fire tore apart one of the reactors and that "31 people died" (2).

PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS The Nazis targeted many groups for persecution, among them Catholics, Poles, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Communists, but only three groups were targeted for systematic extermination: Jews, the handicapped, and the Sinti and Roma, often known as Gypsies.
