Genocide on display
Article Abstract:
The Museum of Victims of Political Repression, in Genden House, Olan Bator, Mongolia, reveals a harrowing display of the genocide which killed 14% of the population of Mongolia. Most other museums bypass these events but this museum does not and many Mongolians visit to try to find out details of missing relatives and are keen to talk to foreigners about it. Mongolia now has a noncommunist government and people are at last able to talk openly about the past. Names of missing people line the walls on the first floor and the second floor has items belonging to missing people.

The Han hordes
Article Abstract:
Inner Mongolians are steadily finding themselves as a minority in their homeland. Mongol dissidents and intellectuals complain that successive waves of Han Chinese settlers have displaced the local inhabitants. Only about 30% of the autonomous region's bureaucracy is occupied by native Mongolians. All forms of official business is conducted in Chinese. Although Mongol is used as the medium of instruction, educational policy stresses the learning of the Chinese language from the first grade onwards.
