Mauricio trained to be a museum curator. On his first day as an intern, his boss, Kevin, told him that a very exciting exhibit was coming to the museum. “There are very few artifacts from the medi... eval religious wars,” exclaimed Kevin. “We are very lucky to be able to exhibit this armor!” “It must have been so hot in that armor,” said Mauricio. “Didn’t that series of wars take place in what’s now known as the Middle East and North Africa?” “Exactly right!” said Kevin. “It’s good to have you aboard.” The more recent conflict between Christians and Muslims in Bosnia Herzegovina is an example of (A) ethnic cleansing , or the targeting of a religious group for elimination. At Mass that night, Mauricio’s mother, Lucia, asked him about his first day at the museum. “What are they paying you?” she asked. “Nothing, Mama. It’s an internship. My experience is the pay,” answered Mauricio. “There are many people in this church with a lot of money, Mauricio.
