TEDxPacifica

"I was born in London, Aleria and Tiristan. Right at the start of the age of Alerian Militarization. When I was a child, I went to the London School in London. Deerfenese and Alerians and Tiristanis and Atheenians. We all lived together in perfect harmony."

*Changes slide to picture of Athenon*

"I graduated school in 1997 at East London High School. I graduated top of my class and as the top athlete. I went to college in Athenon, Atheenos. The Constitutional Republic was the real free place I was in. I graduated after five years there. I got my Ph.D. in Calculus.

*Change slide to Usonea map*

"I moved back to London after I graduated college. There, I met my late wife, Emma. She had stolen my heart from the moment I laid my eyes on her, and on one fateful day in the office... I worked the guts to ask her out on a date."

*Change to picture of Malcolm and Emma*

"We hit it off and soon, it was our second date. Then, our third. Then fourth. And soon, a year or two later, I proposed to her. She said yes. I was so happy. I could have ripped my suit and tie off for all I could care."

*Change picture to Zoey and Carmen.*

"My wife gave birth to my two late children, Zoey and Carmen. Then, we moved out into East London, where I grew up. I sent them to school where I went. They loved East London Preschool. Then, our lives changed. When Zoey and Carmen were two, Emma gave birth to our third child and second daughter, Junie."

*Change slide to picture of Junie and Zoey*

"The children loved each other. Fights were rare. Emma and I had the perfect marriage. The kids always bonded when life came to it. They thought it was important."

*Change slide to Alerian Anti-Deerfenese Propaganda*

"When Junie was seven and Carmen and Zoey were nine, the racism of Aleria and Tiristan came into effect. The propaganda in London, the selling of Zhumu to A&T, and the new administration was a big problem.

"When the Deerfenese gave Zhumu to the Great Union, the Alerians automatically took some open land and decided to put labor camps on. Docks were set up with railroads. The railroads would each lead into camps."

*Slide of Salisbury*

"People were sent there at the start of 2014. Automatically, thousands of people were sent to Salisbury. Junie was twelve. That is where she met the boy that she described as the love of her life. She took him everywhere. That was after we were forced to move from London to Calabuja."

*Set slide to picture of the letter to Zoey*

"Then, the nightmare hit. The Alerianische Geheimpolizei came after Zoey. We panicked and we decided to go into hiding. Zoey was the first to move out. Carmen accompanied her. Then, the next day, we moved in."

*Set slide to picture of the Ančks Sekrč*

"So, there were nine bedrooms. And then, there was a kitchen. It was a big attic area. We had helpers and everything. The Bradenbushes moved in as well along with Mr. Abraham. We were fortunate to all be together and alive. We lived in that hiding space for years."

"Birthdays, holidays, appointments, schooling. Whatever you can think of? We did that in there for ourselves. Of course, the louder activities were done on weekends of holidays."

*Change to slide with picture of Junie writing her diary*

"Inside the Ančks Sekrč, my second daughter, June, wrote her diary. You have all heard of "Day One of Junie Joseph", yeah? Well, her actual diary will be released soon to give you a better look at the Jenosid. Her writings were so advanced. She had dreams of making her diary a novel and I need to make that come true for her."

*Change to slide with a picture of Salisbury*

"Our success didn't last long. On December 28, 2018, we were found. We were reported by an unknown person. All nine of us were put on the bus and sent to the docks of Neu York. There, we boarded ships. We were all together. Thank goodness. When the ships got to Zhumu, we were all sent to Salisbury."

"Upon reaching Salisbury, I left the train car holding June. Zoey was in her mother's arms. Carmen was sent on his own. However, when reaching the dirt, June was ripped from my arms."

"I can still hear her yelling 'DAD!' over and over and over again when she was taken away by guards. That voice never left me. Zoey was sent with her along with Emma."

"Carmen and I were sent as well to the barracks. The next day, we were sent to work in the fields. A month in, I heard some terrible news. I heard that June and Zoey were sent to Abby. I cried knowing that they were separated. Then, the next day, I looked at Carmen's bunk. He wasn't there. Neither was his luggage. He was sent to Abby, as well last night."

"I was truly alone. Emma had been shot in line the day before. All because she moved her foot."

*Change to slide with a picture of Reunification of Carmen and Malcolm*

"It was months of pure torcher. The work was very unreasonable. However, freedom came. It came when Deerfenese troops busted into the camp. They acted like workers. During the day of execution for every prisoner, they struck. The plan was that all Salisbury prisoners were to die that day."

"The Deerfenese soldiers struck at the right time. Guards were being killed at the seconds. Other soldiers busted down the fence unleashing dozens of buses. All of the prisoners were sent on these. The buses were to stop in the other camps. The buses stopped at the train station. I took a look for my children. I knew I would see them again."

"When the train took us all to Ostlea, we got off and looked for lost family members. Then, I exited and I immediately saw Carmen. I teared up and he ran into my arms. I cried. Then, I asked him the dreaded question about June and Zoey."

"All Carmen did was pull out June's diary, Zoey's favorite book, Zoey's journal, and Zoey's glasses. I knew immediately. The harsh reality kicked in. Both of my daughters were dead."

"Carmen and I made a life in Ostlea. However, he didn't last long from the camps. His immune system was being shut down by a new disease known as Genkum. He died a few weeks ago."

"However, during the time he was alive, he helped me prepare for this talk. And he told me to tell all of you the final lesson. The final lesson that I learned from this experience is that we cannot take anything for granted. It can all be taken away. The other lesson is that if we let race define us. If we let race separate us. It could lead to mass killings like this."

"Families were separated. Millions died. All because of the Alerian government lacking the tolerance needed. I found a more peaceful life in Asthea. I have a picture of all of my family. In June's diary, she said and I quote, 'If we let our noncontrollable and tangible attributes define us, it will take away from the nontangible reality; that we are all human.'"

"I learned much from my children. My family is gone, but not their spirits. I will leave you today with one, final thought. We must let ourselves be tolerant of people who may be different because you never know; they could have the same interests as you. However, one thing is certain. We are all human and should be treated as such.
