Introduction
The issue of genocide brings up basic questions about human morality, and the final goal of education is to ensure students develop into moral humans.
Consequently, it is only natural to study genocide in school. It is important to realize that genocide is not just an isolated incident that occurred over a half a century ago in Nazi Europe. It is not just an ugly stain on the fabric of human history, but a current global threat that is happening right now across different regions of the world. As future leaders, it is your job to educate yourself about these evils.
As a poet once said:
Thou shall not be a victim.
Thou shall not be an oppressor.
But most of all, thou shall not be a bystander.
