  He sure had a funny name. And what’s so strange, is that during most of the biggest events in Cambodia, he wasn’t really there. It seems like he was some big orchestrator hiding behind the curtains and silently directing officers to make it all happen. The Cambodia genocide that killed an estimated 2 million of their own citizens has been partially attributed to this maniac. 
  Pol Pot was a Cambodian political leader and revolutionary who worked as Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1975 till 1979. He was a key member of Cambodia's communist company, the Khmer Rouge, from 1963 to 1997, and acted as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea from 1963 to 1981. He was a Marxist-- Leninist and a Khmer nationalist. Cambodia was changed into a one-party communist state under his management, and the Cambodian genocide happened.

  "The Idea of Progress" by J.B. Bury is a seminal work in the history of ideas, first published in 1920. In this book, Bury explores the concept of progress, tracing its development from ancient times to the modern era. He examines the ways in which people have understood and pursued progress throughout history, and the impact that this has had on the world. 
  Bury argues that the idea of progress is a central feature of Western civilization, and that it has shaped the course of history. He shows how the idea of progress emerged in ancient Greece and Rome, and how it was further developed during the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Bury also examines the ways in which progress has been measured and evaluated over time, and how it has been used to justify social and political change. 
  Throughout the book, Bury offers a nuanced and critical perspective on the idea of progress. He acknowledges the many benefits that progress has brought, but also highlights the negative consequences of pursuing progress without sufficient consideration for its wider impact. He argues that progress should be guided by ethical considerations, and that we must be mindful of the unintended consequences of our actions. 
  "The Idea of Progress" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that continues to influence contemporary debates about the meaning and value of progress. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas, and the ways in which they shape our understanding of the world.

  Derrick Bell is perhaps best known for the principled stand he took at Harvard in 1990 when he quit his tenured position on the law-school faculty to protest the school's failure to grant tenure to a black woman. Now a visiting professor at New York Law School, Bell is still deeply interested in issues of race relations and has chosen to explore the subject fictionally in ""Afrolantica Legacies."" In a nutshell, the story goes like this: a mysterious land mass suddenly appears in the Atlantic Ocean, a fabulous island on which only black people can survive. American blacks set sail to the island to begin a new life, only to see it sink again before they can reach the shore. On the return trip to America, the passengers draw up a list of principles called the Afrolantica Legacies, defining how they want to reposition themselves in American society. The book uses a fictional setting to outline some remedies for the problem of race relations between African Americans and white people in our society.

  Women Of Auschwitz

  Over a million Auschwitz dead were Jews, and more than half of them were women. The Auschwitz concentration camp was one of the most horrific places ever conceived of by man, a place of constant torture. The experience was uniquely terrible for women, who were forced into some of the most unimaginable circumstances. Even years later, the mothers who survived couldn't escape the memory. This book examines eleven memoirs authored by female Jewish Auschwitz survivors to show how complex their experiences in the camp were. Though identical to men's, only women dealt with sex-specific concerns such as pregnancy, infertility, or amenorrhea. Other experiences, such as shaving their heads, had a different effect on women than on males. Sixty years after their liberation, these women's experiences in Auschwitz live on through their memoirs, even if the authors have long perished. Individuals who were not in the camps can gain an understanding of what daily life was like for Jewish women through the lens of these testimonies. Each of these people had a one-of-a-kind experience that needs to be remembered and commemorated.
