What is Genocide?

The Genocide is a BIG topic and cant be handled lightly.




Genocide is when there is a GIANT group of people are killed or harmed for reasons that rally don't make any sense.

"The Armenian genocide, which occurred from 1915 until 1917, involved the Turkish government’s deportation and massacre of hundreds of thousands of innocent Armenian civilians." That's a quote from the link above. Hope its interesting to you.




This video has a little swearing in it and talks about rap, Africa, Refugees, and China. The video shows pictures of dead people. It also kinda sounds like a AD on the other hand.

This sad how their bodies are just laying there in the street. If you look closly you could see feet of other people who are just looking at them and are not doing anything but looking.


This next video is about Rwanda in Africa and it shows a lot of pictures that are kinda sad. Most about children but at first there is skulls.

"The Biseis of Civilization in the near East American Cranes in Ourfa" is what the picture says on the sign in the middle.

"Genocide is systematic killing of an entire ethnic community. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups."

Which says in the lower link but genocide is a lot like racism, or sexism if someone has not noticed. So no matter what you cant find Genocide where ever you go pretty much. Which is not far to people who has not done anything wrong.

This was the notice that the Jews were given by the German, Russian, and Latvins when they were told to leave.

"All Jews living within the boundaries of Riga City who as yet have not moved to the ghetto must do so before October 25, 6:00 p.m. Those who do not observe this directive will be most severely punished."
