The Crucible. Persecution, unfortunately, greatly affects our society. Historically, we

visually present an instance of persecution through the form of the photo essay.
Examples of Persecution:

• The Rwanda Genocide (1994)
• Armenian Genocide (1915-1918)
• Cambodian Genocide (1975-1979)
• Nanking Massacre (1937-1938)
• The Parsley Massacre (1937)
• Papa Doc Duvalier- Persecutor (1957-71)
• Tito- Persecutor (1945-1987)
• Fidel Castro- Persecutor (1959-1999)
• Canadian Residential Schools for Aboriginal Children (1840-1950s)
