After completing the course students are expected to answer to following questions: What is genocide? What are the main causes of genocide? How does a genocidal process work? Are there any connections between the first genocide of the twentieth century in German South West Africa and the Holocaust? What else do we need to know about the Rwandan genocide? Have we learned anything from particular cases of genocide? Where did the idea of death camps come from? How fast an ordinary man can become a perpetrator of genocide? Sexual violence: genocide or not? Why genocide is considered the most extreme form of violence? What are the options for preventing genocide? |
