Soldiers Black Watch
What would be a historically accurate setting for my story (Read details) Please help?
I'm trying to begin a story where a boy watches the murder of his parents by occupying soldiers, preferably hiding under a car on a rainy, cobblestone road. It would have to involve some kind of military occupation, one that would involve mistreatment of civillians. I want the story to begin there, but skip ahead to present, where the boy has grown up and is now between 27 and 32 years old. He would have to be able to end up in the U.S.A., and have learned a few languages.
I want his ethnicity to be something close to middle eastern, dark skinned, but not black, or even possibly European caucasion. I don't care whether he would have had the chance to be educated, because I'm going to escape him to another location where he will be educated.
Any ideas on a good location, time, and ethnicity? I'll do all the research, I just need a starting point. Thanks for all your help!
In other words, around 30 years ago or so.
Eastern Europe would be a good setting. The Soviets were behind horrible atrocities in places like Poland and Hungary where many people died. It would be a good start!
Good luck!

| | Dog Soldiers $84.44 The Dog Soldiers or Dog Men was one of six military societies of the Cheyenne Indians. Beginning in the late 1830s this society evolved into a separate, militaristic band which played a dominant role in Cheyenne resistance to American expansion in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming, often in opposition to the policies of peace chiefs such as Black Kettle. Today the Dog Soldiers society is making a comeback in such areas as the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana and among the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma.

| | A Soldiers Story $95.59 A Soldiers Story is a 1984 drama film directed by Norman Jewison, based upon Charles Fullers Pulitzer Prizewinning Off Broadway production A Soldiers Play. A black officer is sent to investigate the murder of a black sergeant in Louisiana near the end of World War II. It is a story about racism and segregation in a black U.S. Army regiment with white officers deep in the Jim Crow South, in a time and place where a black officer is unprecedented and bitterly resented by nearly everyone. The movie was first shown at the Toronto Film Festival. It won the New York Drama Critics Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Theater Club Award, and three Village Voice Obie Awards. It was also nominated for three Academy Awards: for Best Picture, Supporting Actor (Adolph Caesar as the murder victim), and Screenplay Adaptation.

They were Soldiers, Scottish Soldiers (Jocks) — Tribute to our recently fallen — November 2008
I find history lessons SO depressing at school, but my classmates love it!?
I am in year 9 (im 14) and at the moment we are doing WWI / WWII and i am finding it rather upsetting. I doesnt help when you watch real black and white footage of soldiers running across a field, one soldier drops(obviously dead) then some stupid girl in you class laughs and others find her laughing funny!
Am i being over sensitive?
i do agree that history is important but but must we be given so much information about how people suffered and died? Is this something i must just put up with?
The girl who laughed is immature. Her laughing gave others an excuse to laugh.
You are probably also sensitive and that is all right.
Did your teacher ask the girl what was so funny?
Truth about history is absolutely important. Remember that soldier she was laughing about died so she might be able to laugh today.
You continue to be sensitive in life. When you reach about 25 years of age you will find your sensitivity appreciated more by others.
Also, speak to your teacher and ask him/her to discuss everyones reaction. You might have people in class with friends and relatives fighting in a war overseas.
