*Basics of genocide*

Genocide is a mass killing of people that is organized to rid of a group
Raphael Lemkin thought up the word genocide to describe these acts, "geno-" from Greek language meaning family or race, "-cide" meaning to massacre from Latin language
The Genocide Convention was an international treaty that was to officially define what genocide was
To consider the term official, individual nations had to approve the treaty
Enough of the nations signed the treaty by 1951
Many important nations didn't sign the treaty, like the United States. They didn't want to be questioned about actions being taken inside the U.S.


*Ways people are trying to prevent genocide*

!!People pay for commercials and websites of how to donate to people in need
!!People travel t o schools and other public places to share their stories of being in the Holocaust
!!Some people write books of their experiences from the Holocaust
!!During the Holocaust some people may have kept a diary of their experiences
!!Some people can be premiered in special shows to share their story
!!Others may draw paintings to show their feelings of their experience when they can't express how they feel in words
!!Some organizations start planning ways to counter another genocide attack if it occurs
!!Some organizations try to stop genocide before it gets serious
