MAHATMA GHANDI in the year of our Lord 1900 volunteered to form a stretcher-bearer group in the BOER WAR
The BOER WAR in part came about when in 1866 a DIAMOND RUSH prompted a massive foreign influx to the borders of the Orange Free State. A subsequent gold rush in the Transvaal brought many English speakers to the Boer region in search of fame and fortune
In 1908 a DIAMOND RUSH in German Southwest Africa created mining settlements which today are GHOST TOWNS
Craco in Italy became a GHOST TOWN when in 1963 there was a landslide. It has now become famous as a film location - one film was Mel Gibson’s THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST
THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST caused protests before it had even been released. A furore over presumed ANTISEMITISM
A major example of twentieth century ANTISEMITISM was in 1930s Germany when Jews were denied basic rights which ultimately led to mass extermination under the evil eye of ADOLF HITLER
