This short video clip gives a little bit of background on the terms genocide, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing. it starts out with historical background in areas that have witnessed these atrocities throughout the world. The first representation is in the country of Turkey, then continental Europe with the Holocaust, then Cambodia during 1975, then Bosnia from 1992-1995, then Iraq in the late 1980's to the early 1990's to Rwanda in April of 1994. I think that this video does a good job of illustrating a timeline of genocide and helps by including maps of these locations.
The next part of this video then looks at the 21st century, particularly at Darfur. Although not mentioned in this video you could link this to both the genocide taking place in both Somalia and North Korea as we speak. This video will hopefully help students to see that genocide is still present today and will serve as a starting point into our semester long study.
