Genocide is a term used to describe the deliberate killing of people by a government because of a group’s national, ethnic, racial or religious affiliation. Examples of genocide pre-date the 20th century but with the advancement of techniques of mass killing and the increasing population in the 20th century, genocide took on a new definition with mass exterminations in Cambodia, Rwanda, Darfur, Bosnia and Nazi Germany. The purpose of this course is to identify instances and causes of genocide in the 20th century but the prime focus will be on the Holocaust and the Nuremburg trials. Several films will be utilized to examine the horror of genocide and how the rest of the world reacts to genocidal action. (Berchtesgaden Day Field Trip and Dachau Field Trip required)
