Refugees

According to the UNHCR 43.3 million persons were forcibly displaced in 2009, the highest number since the mid-1990s. Behind these cold statistics lie untold stories of beatings, mutilations, rape, and killings on land and sea. When one human being suffers, all, in some way or another, suffer—and should somehow become aware of it.

Check out our new Refugee Topic, which includes overviews of books such as:
- The Cross of Bethlehem: The intriguing, suspenseful and polemic memoir of a Christian Israeli military officer, currently a fugitive on the run from the Israeli national intelligence agency, or Mossad.
- The Other Side of the Sky: A Memoir: The memoir of a girl torn by war from her home in Africa and relocated to America. 


In addition, we look at several movies which relate directly to the topic.
