Authors and composers continue to recap the happenings of the past through novels, reports, movies, articles and much more. But do they really grasp the ideas? Do they really know how the people of the world suffered in the recounts they produce, when they really happened? It appears today that some composers have more ideas than others, what life was really like in these times and the way they present their work shows this.

Two of many examples convey the times of the past to do with dehumanisation include; "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" by Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn and the film "Schindler's List" directed by Steven Spielberg.
