A 5-page paper double spaced on.
Slavenka Drakulic writes, “More than a decade after the
beginning of the war in the
Balkans, it is essential that we understand that it is we, ordinary
people and not some
madmen, who made it possible. We were the ones who one day
stopped greeting our
neighbors of a different nationality, an act that the next day
made possible the opening of
concentration camps. We did it to one another. Maybe this is a
good reason for
considering whether it is too easy to put a hundred men on trial
in the Hague” (194).
What argument is Drakulic making in these lines? Do you think
she is correct? Make
your own argument in support of her claims, or against them.
