The document discusses several examples of genocide throughout history, including the Holocaust, Armenian genocide, Cambodian genocide, Bosnian genocide, and ongoing genocides in parts of Africa. It provides statistics on the large numbers of people killed in each genocide, such as 6 million Jews during the Holocaust and up to 1.7 million people in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. The document also notes that the 1951 Genocide Convention was a response to the Holocaust but that genocide has continued to occur in locations like Rwanda and Bosnia.

2.  Genocide is the
deliberate and
systematic
extermination of a
national, racial,
political, or cultural
group.

3.  An example of genocide
is the Holocaust
 •The figure of 11
million people dead is
often given, but it is far
too low one also
encounters the range
11-17 million.
 •6 million of these were
Jewish and about one
quarter of these were
children under 15.

4.  •Jews- 5.9 million
 •Soviet POW's- 3.3 million
 •Non-Jewish Poles- 1.8-2 million
 •Romanis ('gypsies')- 220,000- 270,000
•Disabled- 200,000 - 250,000
 •Homosexuals- 5,000 - 15,000
 •Jehovahs Witnesses- 2,500 - 5,000

5.  This issue is important because people don’t
realize that genocide is occurring right now.
 There is genocide going on every day in parts
of Africa.

7.  People guilty of
genocide during the
Holocaust are stilling
being taken to court
today
 Why are we not do
anything to help those
in Rwanda?

9.  As many as 1.5
million Christian
Armenians, out of a
pre-WWI population
of 1.8 million, were
killed by the Ottoman
Empire in present-day
Turkey between 1915
and 1918.

10.  Nearly 6 million Jews and
5 million "undesirables"
were killed between 1933
and 1945 in Nazi
Germany, in pursuit of
Hilter's "Final Solution."
Before the Nazis seized
power in 1933, Europe's
Jewish population was
about 9.5 million,
representing 60% of the
world's total Jewish
population. In 1950,
Europe's Jewish
population was only 3.5
million.

11.  During the
Cambodian genocide
between 1975 and
1979, approximately
1.7 million (21% of the
country's total
population) lost their
lives at the hands of
Pol Pot's extremist
Khmer Rouge
government.

12.  Bosnian Serb forces
systematically
murdered an estimated
200,000 Bosnian
Muslims in pursuit of a
"Greater Serbia" during
civil war between 1992
and 1995. In one
particularly shocking
incident, over 8,000
Muslim men and boys
were rounded-up killed
execution-style by the
Serbian army in
Srebrenica in July 1995

13.  The Genocide
Convention took effect
in 1951, after the horrors
of the Nazi Holocaust
resulted in a consensus
that genocide is a crime
of concern to the entire
international
community. Since then,
the world watched as
nearly 3 million
civilians were
slaughtered in
Cambodia, Bosnia, and
Rwanda.
