While the Holocaust is by no means the only genocide in the world, it was one of

the most infamous. Today, there are still genocides happening across the Earth, with
many nations turning a blind eye. During WWII the US could have acted sooner and
would have likely prevented many deaths. Do you feel that the US was justified in not
acting quicker? If so, what about in the cases of genocides happening today?

Answer:A clear and well-informed understanding of the Holocaust, the paradigmatic genocide, may help educators and students understand other genocides, mass atrocities, and human rights violations. Teaching about mass suffering only began after the Second World War, or, to be specific, after the Holocaust, the attempt by the Nazis and their collaborators to completely destroy European Jewry. In part due to our investigation of the Holocaust, a whole field of genocide studies has developed and, in consequence, the crimes against the Armenians have been restored to history and scholars are studying numerous other instances of inhumanity, from the Herero massacres to the Stalinist murders and expulsion, to more recent horrors in Central Africa, the Sudan and Cambodia.
