	Review of "Hitler's Forgotten Victims" by David Okuefuna and Moise Shewa
		The film uses interviews with survivors and their families as well as archival material to document the Black German Holocaust experience; it also explores the history of German racism, suggests links between German colonialism and Nazi policy, and examines the treatment of Black prisoners-of-war.
		No one knows how many Black people died in the camps at the hands of the SS guards, producer Moise Shewa says, because Jews were demarcated as Jews, but Black people were demarcated by nationality.
		Although there does not seem to be a huge amount of documented evidence concerning the Black experience in German concentration camps, the film does provide compelling glimpses of how the Nazis treated their Black victims.

		Nutrition surveys in East Shewa (July) indicate malnutrition rates of 13% among under 5 yrs and as high as 17% in children under 29 months..
		Similar to West Hararghe and East Shewa Zones, East Hararghe, the mid to lowlands in southern Bale, and pocket areas in Arsi Zone, declines in maize and sorghum are anticipated.

		If I remember correctly, one of the "changes" that Breuer made in his Tanakh was to change Hataph-Patah to Shewa because that is in accordance with the notation system now in use, the other system having been "discarded".
		I also believe that one can see the remains of the old system in some Siddurim that have a Hataph-Patah under the Resh in Borekhu in the morning and evening prayers (and before the prayer for the Torah reading), while other Siddurim have the Shewa.
		In both cases, I have been informed, the sound should be that of the Shewa Na.

		Objective and methodology This assessment was conducted from 30 August — 5 September 2000, in five weredas (Wara Jarso, Hidhabu Abote, Wuchale Jida, Abichuna Gna’aa and Baraki Alelitu weredas) of North-West Shewa zone of Oromiya region.
		The objective of the assessment was to assess performance of the main season (kiremt) rains, meher crops and monitor relief assistance undergoing by various organizations and identify gaps (if any) and eventually recommend measures to be taken.
		This persistent mismatch between the number of people in need of relief assistance and the available supplies should not be overlooked as it is leading to inccreasing impoverishment as people are forced to sell their farm assets in order to purchase food.
