Other Troubled World Regions.

Today I met a bunch of young men from the Southern Sudan. They survived a journey of hundreds of miles from villages where their families were murdered. Much more traumatic than the Potato Famine. Through them, I was trying to put myself in the shoes of someone not having the luxuries of an American and having to live through what these guys went through or what Famine victims went through six generations ago. If you live in a well off place, it sort of makes any problem you may have seem rather small by comparison.

Famine victims may not have been shot at and bombed. They died more slowly. Neglect rather than straight murder. Does not mean there is no "trauma" of some sort.
