Bearing Witness: Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing

Before the Holocaust, there was no singular term for the systematic slaughter of a group of people based on nationality, ethnicity, race, or religion. In recent decades, however, we've become grimly familiar with the term ""genocide."" These powerful books examine history's most significant genocidal acts. Each text analyzes the historical context and political and cultural factors that gave rise to mass killing. This series discusses attempts to achieve justice and reconciliation after genocide. By remembering and studying these dark episodes of history, readers learn the disastrous consequences of baseless hatred and hatred itself.
