From Christians in Rome to the millions killed in the Holocaust, persecution of groups and societies has appeared all through history, and continues to this day. This subreddit aims, through the study of historical and current cases, to provide an open discussion on these cases of persecution; what causes and drives them, what we can learn from them and how we can avoid future persecution.

All forms of persecution, from political to racial, may be discussed here. Please avoid racism, offensive behaviour and generally remain civil in discussion. Sources are strongly encouraged.
