'Anne bonether is the surmount known of these two large number, far much(prenominal) than Romeo Dallaire. Her struggle for survival and her eventual betrothal of devastation in a intentness camp hand over awed the ara for the last sixty age. Just a cardinal-year-old girl who had the rest of her disembodied spirit to look for state of ward to and her youthful plans for that disembodied spirit that were snuffed short by a war machine and the hatred of a gentlemans gentlemankind she would neer see, Adolph Hitler. Hitler’s madness and his tangled hatred for followers of the Jewish opinion subsequently brought a halt to millions of lives of sight that had never seen him, known him or would contract ever harmed him. His fanatical crusade for the â€Å"Arian” bunk to populate the universe of discourse and do an social cleansing of any new(prenominal) race, doctrine or religion created one of the to the highest degree horrendous and infamous atroci ties in being history, the Holocaust.\r\nE realone who has ever read Diary of a Young Girl could non answer merely be moved by Anne stark(a)’s courage and optimism during her en labored screen with her family and the other residents in that pigeon loft as she tried to maintain look forward to in the ominous face of an indecent society that had invaded her native country. It is truly frightening how she managed to maintain her sanity and her outlook on life through such a horrific ordeal. Just fifteen years old with very little give birth at life, she seemed to possess a ponderous ability to see things as they â€Å" very were” and not as she or the others would train wished them to be.\r\nYet, it did not seem to quell her impression that there was devout in people and that precisely a few were accountable for the misery that is often imposed upon others patently because of another(prenominal)’s beliefs or policies. It has to light upon one won der if it were not part because it was a more than innocent metre in the world when pip-squeakren were not always besieged by vehemence, crime or prejudice. Though probably one of the world’s most famous victims of prejudice, Anne Frank maintained that innocence through her full life. She was a child caught in a nightmare not of her own make and she along with millions of others suffered because of that nightmare.\r\nRomeo Dallaire was a military man that by choice compound him in these types of matters. A Canadian Major General, Dallaire, headed a small unify Nations peacekeeping force, UNAMIR, in Rwanda, Africa. Horrible atrocities became evident to him and he solidifying out to appeal for help in these murders that were so heathen in nature. It involved a conflict that the ruling regime, the Hutu, had begun quite a little massacres of the Tutsis, a different sect in spite of appearance the country. It was totally classified as ethnic in policy.\r\nWhen Dalla ire faxed for advice in 1994, his fax was do by with little or no attention. The get together Nations refused to acknowledge it as genocide and would not allow Dallaire to do anything beyond the stiff rules that his small military unit was allowed to pursue. Dallaire had to impersonate back incapacitatedly and watch this heinousness go unchecked. Unlike Anne Frank, he was not a personal victim however he was just as helpless in changing the effect of what was extending.\r\nIn his literary productions later, Shake Hands With The Devil, Dallaire expounded on the ineffectualness of Genocide Committees, such as the UN had, when it was doubtful if a particular carry out in spite of appearance a country wad be termed as ethnic genocide.\r\n succession has proven evermore that other countries or even the United Nations in these more modern times are passing hesitant to act despite some(a)times often insurmountable proof that ethnic cleansing is occurring and it should be st opped immediately.\r\nSo what similarities would be between Anne Frank and Romeo Dallaire?\r\nThey both wrote important works on the results and after(prenominal) effects of ethnic cleansing and genocidal war.\r\nAnne Frank’s view channelise came from an innocent bystander. Her save crime? She was a Jew. She had led a quiet gentle life within a loving family structure and she was only aware of the persecution of the Jewish population by what was happening around her. Once in seclusion, her writings intensified as she grew more and more aware of the plight of other people and of her childhood friends and their families either insanely trying to escape or captured by the Nazis and sent to the concentration camps where most of them never returned.\r\nHer diary, which she referred to as â€Å"Kitty”, was begun before she and her family were forced into hiding. It shows all the normal qualities of a young girl her age. Her young hopes and dreams and the beginnings of pub erty. Her delightful and anticipative views of what life would be like when she was bountiful were the strongest proof of her innocence. She was a friendly, astute and rotate person and those qualities did stand her in good stead while she remained in hiding for two years. She managed to maintain a very mature calm while some of the older adults around her were literally â€Å"dropping to pieces.”\r\nShe seemed to rise above the petty squabbles and accusations that organise when so many people are crammed into such close quarters for so long. She tried not to dwell on the lack of food, fresh air, or unworthy living conditions that she existed in but kind of took a very philosophical point of view of what was happening around her and to her. Her undreamed courage has inspired people constantly through the years since her untimely death and the publication of her diary. She very derively knew the unlikeness between right and wrong.\r\nThrough her diary, she make a world wake up to how quickly one group give the axe impose its values on another and if the imposed group refused those values, then violence and mass death could erupt from it. To citation the old phrase â€Å"Out of the mouths of babes”, whether hackneyed or not, in this instance, a child taught an adult world what was wrong with prejudice, foolery and the aggressiveness of war.\r\nRomeo Dallaire’s own writings have been a good seeded player for endless purposes as far as a teaching and informative adopt to how not to miss the very clear signs of ethnic war. Because Dallaire’s hands were laced in the military sense and the United Nations’ refusal to act upon his advice from the situation that eventually escalated into a full scale war.\r\nDallaire is often quoted by writers on war and genocide because his pictural description of how the massacring of the Tutsis people in Rwanda should have been clear warning signs of what was going to happen. It is o ne thing to set of councils against genocide but to refuse to act upon situations that fall under the jurisdiction of these councils is almost as heinous as the very acts of war themselves.\r\nIn an odd comparison, Anne Frank and Romeo Dallaire were exactly same as they were both witnesses to these atrocities and they were both exclusively helpless to do anything to stop them exterior of writing about them. It is perhaps some comfort that through both of their pen observations, we, as a world, are smash able to see the fallacy in these types of confrontations and hopefully in the future, take more steps to insure that they never happen again.\r\nWorks Cited/ References:\r\n1.How to Prevent Genocide: A Guide for Policymakers, Scholars, and the Concerned Citizen by prank G.
