This is where you post your essay for Period 5 Groups 3-4  This is the fourth purpose was about genocide. It can talk about the name of categories are extermintion and denial. It can tell what happened if someone who will be human after they believe their victims at all times. And the second purpose was about denial and there's always following a genocide. Today, I'm going to write about the second word of extermination and denial.
 * || [|alecle3]

The first paragraph was about extermination. It becomes quickly of the mass killing called the genocide. It was by the state before they work with militias in the U.S. They don't do their job after they remembered what they want to start doing their own thoughts. And many people were working hard as doing the project around the world. It was about culture all over the world.

The second topic was about being denial because it would follow the genocide after they shows up with eight stages. It was the second thing about perpetrators. They showed up with the burning of bodies and dead bodies because it was covered up after they dug up with the mass graves. Now, the people who become up with their strategies before they couldn't make a good decision about genius institution.

The last article was about the history of genocide. It can talk about eight stages of genocide. They kept thinking of extermination becomes legally called the genocide. And the people wondered why they introduced about denial because it follows genocide. I write the second topic of the main ideas and learn the facts about 8 stages of genocide in the 1900's || Nallely Leiva Group 3  What cause this genocide on Rwanda? Throughout history groups of people in Rwanda, have been torture and killed. This genocide began the 19th century where thousands of people were murder, a genocide is systematic killing of a racial or cultural group. Over 800,000 people were killed during 100 days genocide all cause there race, religion and politics. On April 6, neighboring Burundi back from a negotatiating session in Tanzania only came to an end when the Tutsi led Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF), backed by Uganda.

After all, Rwanda were “mindless tribal violence” Africa is a contient of ancient tribal, most tribal antagonisms in Africa go back only as far as the period of Europeans. Another thing is that everything changed under colonial rule. Germany controlled the area form 1890, In the first war the Belgium became the colonial power. Belgium used the Tutis to rule Rwanda for whole colonial period, but in the 1950s they switched side. Then Rwanda became independent under a Hutu, government, and about 150,000 Tutis were exile.

Furthermore the Rwanda is the smallest country with the largest population. Rwanda has a interesting history because ethnic groups the Hutus and Tusis that consists of about 15-18% of the population. The colonists use of divide and rule Tutis to control their territories. For example one the first stages is classification is example how Rwanda was divided in groups. Such as Rwanda and burndi are the ones who have a actually genocide. That suffer throughout the genocide.

What a Symbolization?, It the second stage of the genocide,a symbolization is a act or process of symbolizing. It a symbol that signficance the Tutis and Hutus. In Rwandan Genocide, the Tutis were refered to as cockroaches, this an example as symbolization. It also represent color, signs, names etc. Also rwanda did reresent a symbolization of two symbols.

Another stage is Polarization, one of the genocide stage. Polarization is when being part of serperated/segergates two groups of people from interacting or socialing. In 1959, three years before independece from Belgium, the majority ethnic group, the Hutus overthrew the ruling Tutis king. Several years later tge Tutsis were killed, and some 150,000 driven into exile neighboring countries. This is an example of Polarization in Rwanda.

Then, one of our six genocide stages is preparation, this means when being part of the unwanted group everything is taken away, or seperated by ethicity or religion identity. This is an example how rwanda was being harm, torture and killed, only cause of there religion or identity they seperated from there groups. However another stage is Extermination that means mass killing that is legally called “genocide” the killers called it a extermination because they don’t consider their victums fully humans. In Rwanda they killed them like their were animals, like they were not humans.

Finally one of our last stage is Denial, denial is where they try to hide all the evidence that the genocide helped. The killers often try to blame what happeed on the victums. So they burn bodies and dig up the masscres. Which happen in Rwanda to hide all the evidence which is something so harmful that they did. Also Rwanda was one the biggest genocide, and real genocide that actually happen in the 19th centurys.

Overall Rwanda opposed attempts to authorize a bigger intervention. Rwanda been through so many things, they suffered and were killed, over 800,000 were killed and treated like animals. Africa has enourmous wealth even though Africa remains trapped in an imperialist vice.

 Isaac R Holocaust What happened in Germany is a genocide. A group of people was almost eliminated. The group that was almost terminated were the Jews. Hitler was on a mission to kill them all. He was the creator of the biggest genocide the holocaust. Hitler went all over to kill the Jews. He gathered them into ghettos where they would be rounded up. He made the Jews dig their own graves. When they were done they were shot without warning and were then buried in the graves they dug themselves. They were given a choice to work or die. They were suppressed by a bigger power. The holocaust fits as a genocide. The Jews were classified. There was symbolization, they had to wear yellow stars. Dehumanization happened were Jews were thought of as less than the rest and were killed. It just perfectly fit’s the genocide description. The Jews were classified by their religion. They were called Jews because they followed Judaism. They also had to wear big yellow stars. That was symbolization. That was also classification. They were also called an alien threat. Classification is when you are set apart from another group based on race, ethnicity, or religion. Symbolization is were a certain group is given a name or symbol. The Jews were thought of less than the Nazi. They were not thought of as human beings. They were experimented on as if they were lab rats. The Nazi thought nothing of it. That is dehumanization. This is were one group denies the humanity of another group. The Nazi were organized they were an army led by their notorious leader Hitler. That is organization, were the attack is planned out and organized. The Jews were separated from the outside world. The Nazi put all Jews together. They were segregated from everyone else. That is polarization, were 2 groups are separated from socializing with another group. Preparation was also in place. They knew who they wanted to target. They identified them and symbolized them. Extermination is when there is a mass killing. Their was plenty of that in the holocaust. The Jews were almost annihilated. The Nazi killed almost 2 out of 3 of the Jews. Hitler denied he was doing anything wrong. He thought the Jews were a threat. The Nazi had mass graves and burned the bodies yet they denied that what they were doing was bad. The holocaust was and is a genocide. All stages of genocide are present. What happened in Germany fit’s the description of a genocide. The Jews were classified, symbolized, dehumanized, polarized, and almost exterminated. The Nazi were denying what they did was wrong, they were prepared, and were organized. What happened in Germany, the holocaust, was a genocide. Brenda Ramos Rwanda Have you ever been jealous of someone else? Jealousy is a very common thing to feel. Often jealousy leads to many problems. Jealousy was a major factor in the Rwanda Genocide. What happened in Rwanda was a genocide. The Rwanda genocide took place in Rwanda, Africa. Approximately 800,000 Rwandan people died. The Tutsis people were harassed by the Hutu people because the Hutu tribe was jealous of the Tutsis tribe. They were jealous because the Europeans thought that the Tutsis were more aristocratic. The Tutsis were also landowners. That meant that the Hutus worked for the Tutsis. These reasons built great anger inside of the Hutu tribe. The genocide occurred from April to June of 1994. Most of the people that died were killed in one day. They were assassinated in brutal ways. Genocide is any act or acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious groups. This is what the Hutu tribe intended to do. They wanted to get rid of all the members of the Tutsis tribe so their tribe would no longer exist. To gain what the wanted they would need to find a way to eliminate every single member. The Hutu people decided to kill any Tutsis without any question. They intended to destroy a whole ethnicity. This act is considered genocide. The 1st stage of genocide is classification. Classification is when you divide people into groups based on their religion, race, ethnicity, or nationality. In Rwanda the people are separated by their ethnicity. This makes two groups the Hutus and the Tutsis. Thus the Rwandan genocide does meet the stage of classification because there are divisions between the people based on their ethnicity. The 2nd stage of genocide is symbolization. Symbolization is a way to distinguish a group by its colors, symbols, or names. In the Rwanda genocide there were two groups involved, the Hutu and the Tutsis. Thus the Rwanda genocide does meet the stage of symbolization because two groups are distinguished by their names. The 3rd stage of genocide is dehumanization. Dehumanization is when a group of people treat another group like they are not human, like animals, diseases, or vermin. In Rwanda close to 800,000 people were brutally killed like animals, their love ones were not considered in this decision. Thus the Rwanda genocide goes meet the stage of dehumanization. The 4th stage of genocide is organization. Organization is when groups are trained to attack, like militias or terrorist groups. In Rwanda the Hutu tribe was organized to attack and kill. Thus the Rwanda genocide does meet the stage of organization because the Hutu people had a well organized group sent out to kill all the Tutsis people. The 5th stage of genocide is polarization. Polarization is when two groups of people are separated, or segregated from interacting or socializing. In Rwanda the Tutsis tribe was polarized by the Hutu tribe by excluding them from secondary schools and university. They were also prohibited involvement in government. Thus the Rwanda genocide does meet the stage polarization because the Tutsis tribe was segregated from interacting with people outside of the Tutsis tribe. The 6th stage of genocide is preparation. Preparation is when people are separated by ethnical or religious identity, when being part of the unwanted group everything is taken away. In the Rwanda genocide the Tutsis’ land was being taken from them, they were also forced to immigrate. Thus the Rwanda genocide does meet the stage of preparation because they were robbed from their belongings. The 7th stage of genocide is extermination. Extermination is when a quick mass killing that is legally called “genocide”. The killers called it extermination because they did not consider them fully human. In Rwanda many innocent people were assassinated. The Hutu tribe killed many Tutsis members in one day, they were assassinated in any way possible. Most of then brutally. Thus the Rwanda genocide does meet the stage of extermination because of the brutal killings. The 8th stage of genocide is denial. Denial is when the perpetrators of the genocide hide the evidence, deny, blame the victims, and try to block investigation. In Rwanda about 2 million Hutu people fled over the border, and by 1995 no one wanted to admit there had been a genocide. Thus the Rwanda genocide does meet the stage of denial because the Hutu tribe was trying to escape what they did. What happened in Rwanda was a genocide. These events are considered a genocide because they all meet the 8 stages of genocide. In the Rwanda genocide there was classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination, and denial. This was a plan made by the Hutu Tribe to destroy an ethnical group. The Hutu’s goal was to exterminate the Tutsis tribe to have complete control. This in my eyes is a genocide.  What happened in Bosnia was a genocide because, there was a lot of discrimination in Bosnia. In, Bosnia there was a major genocide. During the years of the 1990’s there was a war named the Bosnian War. The genocide conflict was between the three main ethnic groups, the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims. Resulted in genocide committed by the Serbs against the Muslims in Bosnia, the genocide was against the Muslims. It was first conflict between the Serbs, then the Croats, and last was the Muslims.
 * Jorge Gamez per.5 group 4 || Bosnian Genocide ||

In Bosnia, it was first started by a war. It was a leader that wanted to get rid of all the Serbs a leader by the name of Slobodan Milosevic. He was first leading the country to get the Serbs. Later, in the year of 1991 he left and put his attention in invading Croatia a country where 12% of the population are all Serb’s. Serb’s living in Croatia as well as Jews had been the targets of widespread Ustasha massacres. Finally, until the year of 1992 they have gave the independence of Bosnia, where mostly Muslim country where the Serb minority made up 32 percent of the population. Milosevic responded to Bosnia's declaration of independence by attacking Sarajevo, its capital city, best known for hosting the 1984 Winter Olympics. Sarajevo soon became known as the city where Serb snipers continually shot down helpless civilians in the streets, including eventually over 3,500 children.

Milosevic was angry with the decision of the independence. Serbs in Bosnia freely committed genocide against Muslims. In Srebrenica, a Safe Haven, U.N. peacekeepers stood by helplessly as the Serbs under the command of General Ratko Mladic systematically selected and then slaughtered nearly 8,000 men and boys between the ages of twelve and sixty. They came into an agreement. By now, over 200,000 Muslim civilians had been systematically murdered. More than 20,000 were missing and feared dead, while 2,000,000 had become refugees.

In Bosnia, there was three different groups all divided the groups were the Muslims which made 44% of the population the Serb’s made 31% of the population and the Croat’s made about 17% of the population. In the genocide they had to classify each person differently. Like say you were latino they would separate you from being asian. They classified them by the way you would look and also the religion that you were in. They killed many people by dividing them. They symbolized people by their religion. That was it made the Genocide easier and also more organized.

In a Genocide, they did many things that were not inhuman. They did not want to even feed them. They organized people in the groups that they wanted to kill them. They would lock them up in Ghetto’s surrounded in barb wire, with no food or water. They would kill them all in one grave. The only reason they did this was because they did not like the other group they wanted to exterminate the Muslim’s.

What is polarization? It is when they separated the groups so they would not be able to interact with each other. They did not want them to talk to anyone The Muslim’s were not good enough. They would want to keep them away from the rest of the people because they did not like them. They were in the ghettos with no food or water. They were separated by barb wire and were guarded by soldiers.

In the Genocide, they tried to exterminate all the Muslims. To them it was legal it was not a crime but it truly was a crime. Knowing that it was a crime because the group did not do anything to them all they were doing was living. To try to hide everything they just killed the people and sometimes threw them into big massive graves. Sometimes they would just kill the person and leave the person there trying to hide the evidence. Knowing that it was a crime they knew that trying to hide the evidence would be the best thing.

In conclusion, the Bosnian Genocide was a genocide because all the crimes that were committed just because they had different beliefs. They knew they were committing a crime but they wanted to show everyone that they were right. They tried by hiding the evidence which did not work and they tried to make it seem like they were doing the right thing. That is why in Bosnia there was a Genocide.  Facundo Tanta Group 3 Bosnian Genocide Have you ever thought about your rights and how they keep you safe? In Bosnia, there started to be conflict during the 1990’s. There were three main ethnic groups: Muslims, Serbs, and Croats. About 100,000 people were killed. What happened in Bosnia was genocide. In 1992 Bosnia declared its independence. The Serbs started a war to create a separate state. They went after both the Muslims and Croats because those were areas under their control. The Muslims were put in concentration camps. Women started to get raped. At least 1 million Muslims were forced to leave their homes. Genocide is the killing of members from an ethnic, racial, or religious group. Genocide is what occurred in Bosnia. An estimated 100,000 were killed because of their ethnicity. People were also tortured because they were Muslims. It was the largest massacre in Europe since the holocaust. The first stage of genocide is classification. Classification is dividing people into groups because of looks, religion, race, etc. In Bosnia there was classification because they divided people because of their ethnicity. Thus Bosnia meets the stage of classification. The second stage of genocide is symbolization. Symbolization is a way to distinguish a group by color, signs, and names. In Bosnia, they symbolized people because they were Muslims. Thus Bosnia does not meet the stage of symbolization. The third stage of genocide is dehumanization. Dehumanization is an act that makes a human seem they are less than everyone else. In Bosnia they made the Muslims seem different and less than the Serbs. Thus Bosnia meets the stage of dehumanization. The fourth stage of genocide is organization. Organization is being divided and having tasks set. In Bosnia there was organization because the Muslims were put in concentration camps. Thus Bosnia meets the stage of organization. The fifth stage of genocide is polarization. Polarization separates groups from interacting and socializing with one another. In Bosnia the Muslims were separated by putting from the Serbs by being put in concentration camps. Thus Bosnia meets the stage of polarization. The sixth stage of genocide is preparation. Preparation is being separated by ethnicity or religion when being unwanted. In Bosnia all the Muslims were either forced into a concentration camp or were forced to leave their homes. Thus Bosnia meets the stage of preparation. The seventh stage of genocide is extermination. Extermination is a mass killing legally called genocide. In Bosnia there was extermination because around 100,000 Muslims were killed. Thus Bosnia meets the stage of extermination. The eighth stage of genocide is denial. Denial is when they try to hide all evidence the evidence that genocide happened. In Bosnia there was a person who was arrested for finding evidence. Thus Bosnia does meet the stage of denial. In conclusion, what happened in Bosnia was genocide. No one should be killed because of what their ethnicity is. It was genocide because it meets seven stages of genocide.

The Rwandan Genocide

There have been many Genocides over time. Some are still going on right this very second. The sad part about it is that most people don’t know what’s going on some people don’t even know what genocide is. Many people were killed in the Rwandan genocide and it seems that the whole event never occurred because it is not discussed and it doesn’t even seem like it was taken seriously. What happened in the country of Rwanda was in fact genocide. According to ( [|www.ppu.org] ) the Rwandan genocide started in 1994. The Genocide was a very tragic time for Rwanda. In Rwanda there were different tribes and the two tribes that had a conflict were the Hutus and the Tutsis. The Hutus were the perpetrators and the Tutsis were the victims. For hundreds of years the Tutsis ruled over the Hutus. The Hutus did not like the opposing tribe some would say that they were jealous. Tutsis were believed to be to be smarter and better than Hutus. There women were known to be more beautiful. The physical separation of the two tribes led the Hutus to hatred which led to genocide. The Hutus began to hunt Tutsis they would slaughter thousands of Tutsis with machetes, spheres and guns. The Hutus showed know mercy they killed hundreds and thousands of Tutsi men, women, and children. It was estimated that approximately 800,000 people were killed in the Rwandan genocide. There were many mass graves. <span style="display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; line-height: 200%; margin: 11.25pt 0in 0pt -0.15in;">According to (www.Google dictionary.com) genocide is “the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation”. Genocide occurs in 8 different stages. The 8 stages are classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination, and denial. What happened in Rwanda was genocide because it contained all 8 of the different stages. <span style="display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; line-height: 200%; margin: 11.25pt 0in 0pt -0.15in;">The Rwandan genocide went through stages one and two which were classification and symbolization. The different tribes had categories the Hutus were the lower class and the Tutsis were in the higher class. The Tutsis were notorious for having long noses and being extremely tall and they were also known for having lighter skin than Hutus. According to (wwww.genocide watch.com) societies that lack mixed categories are more likely to have genocide. When they were put into different categories and the Hutus began to give the Tutsis knick names. One of the popular common knick names that the Hutus liked to call the Tutsis were cockroaches. The way the myth goes Tutsis were very tall much taller than the Hutus so they called them the tall trees. When the Hutus would do broadcast on the radio tell their fellow Hutus to kill the Tutsis they would say cut the tall trees. The Hutus tried in every way to hurt the Tutsis. <span style="display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; line-height: 200%; margin: 11.25pt 0in 0pt -0.15in;">This genocide went threw stages three and four dehumanization and organization. The Hutus began to treat the Tutsis like trash. They considered them to be as low as dirt. Before the Hutus would kill the Tutsis they would humiliate them and rob them of their dignity. They did not except the fact that Tutsis were human. Since Hutus worked in radio stations and other media businesses. They had know issues spreading news about how horrible the Tutsis were to there fellow Hutus. They used different propagandas to influence Hutus that the Tutsi were bad and that there tribe needed to be exterminated. The fourth step was organization. Any and every genocide is organized. Even though it was said that the genocide did not began until 1994 there were events that were planned up until that time. The militia helped the Hutus they provided the Hutus with weapons. <span style="display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; line-height: 200%; margin: 11.25pt 0in 0pt -0.15in;">The fifth and sixth stage that happened was polarization and preparation. Polarization was when the Tutsis were separated from the Hutu society. Extremists drove different groups apart. They could not socially interact with Hutus and there was know intermarriage. After polarization came preparation this is when Tutsis were captured and removed from there homes and in most cases they were killed. Their property was taken away from them there houses and cars were trashed and torched. <span style="display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; line-height: 200%; margin: 11.25pt 0in 0pt -0.15in;">The last and final stages were stages seven and eight which were extermination and denial. The extermination is the biggest stage of them all. There were mass killings. Bodies of men, women and children not even months old were all over roads and dumped into rivers. According to www. Gendercide.org the Tutsis were hacked to death with machetes. Most of the killings were done as soon as the Tutsis were captured. In most cases women were raped and then killed. The final stage was denial. This was when the perpetrators tried to get rid of any evidence. They would dig up mass graves and burn all of the bodies. From there they would try to deny any crime. <span style="display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; line-height: 200%; margin: 11.25pt 0in 0pt -0.15in;">Although both tribes were African. There was still a difference. They were separated by hatred and disgust for one another. What happened in Rwanda was genocide. Because of the fact that there was a mass killing of a certain group that was singled out. It was also genocide because it contains all eight of the stages that occur in genocide.

Cambodia
===What had happened in Cambodia was genocide. The reason why, what had happened was genocide was because it went through all the stages of genocide. It went through Symbolization like how they had to wear a blue scarf to symbolize they were Cambodians.=== ===The groups involved in the genocide are the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot. The time frame is around 1970 throughout 1975. What had happened was that the Khmer Rouge was sent in Cambodia by Pol Pot and Wrangled all the Cambodians and sent them all into ghettos.=== ===My definition for genocide is, when a targeted race is being attacked. Attacked how? Well if they are called or given an item that represents the targeted race. After being targeted they are sent to ghettos. A ghetto is a place where the race/targeted race is taken to do hard labor even till death. After everything is done the victims are accused for all the actions.=== ===The first stage of genocide is Classification. Classification is when people are divided into groups having them separated by race, looks, and their culture. In Cambodia, they took the Cambodians away from the other “people” because they were different. Thus why Cambodia has met the first stage of genocide. The second stage of genocide is symbolization. Symbolization is a way to represent or distinguish a group. Based by its colors, signs, name etc. The Cambodians were given a blue scarf in order to symbolize them from the others. Thus why Cambodia is at the second stage of genocide.=== ===The third stage is dehumanization. Dehumanization is when an act that does not make a human, human. In Cambodia they gave the Cambodians no rights. So they did not have any rights and were not treated like humans. Thus why Cambodia is at the third stage of genocide. The fourth stage of genocide is organization. Organization is when having a plot or plan and having a task set. In Cambodia, they separated the Cambodians and set the off to camps/ghettos. Thus why Cambodia is on the fourth stage of genocide.=== ===The fifth stage of genocide is Polarization. Polarization is when they separate two groups of people from the “Normal People”. In Cambodia, they lined up the Cambodians and sent them into a camp. Which separated them from the people. They were given a number as there identity. Thus why Cambodia is at the fifth stage of genocide. The sixth stage of genocide is Preparation. Preparation is when they are separated by ethnicity or religion and everything wanted is taken away. In Cambodia, the Cambodians are given identical clothing are separated from there family and friends are sent to camps and given numbers. Thus why Cambodia is near a full genocide.=== ===The seventh stage of genocide is Extermination. Extermination is when a mass killing legally called a genocide. The killers are call it an extermination. Because they don’t feel that there victims are fully human. In Cambodia while at the camps. The Cambodians were lined up and killed some walked by the massacres and still worked. Kids were told that family is not important. Thus why Cambodia is at the final stages of genocide. The Last and Final stage of genocide is Denial. Denial is when they try to hide all the evidence that the genocide ever happened. The killers often try to blame what happened on the victims themselves. In Cambodia while there camps were being bombed they tried to hide everything from them and blamed it on the Cambodians. Thus why Cambodia was a genocide.=== ===So what had happened in Cambodia was a genocide everything that proves it was a genocide is on the top. Pol Pot and his men were killed. And the Cambodians were set free. Thus why Cambodia was a genocide it went through all the 8 stages of genocide. So it was official that it was a genocide.===

=== Did you ever wonder about what happened in Germany was a holocaust? Adolf Hitler killed about 7 million Jews. He made the Jews suffer a lot of hard labor and starvation. He banned Jews from public places. The Jews were sent and forced toconcentration camps. Hitler wanted to control Germany and didn’t like the Jews. Hitler wanted his people to be the majority and wanted to take over the minority. With these reasons we can see that Hitler was races. So what happened in Germany was a genocide. ===

=== First the Jews were barred from all public places in 1933. Jews where then divided into a boycott. Then Hitler banned the Jews from public places in 1930. Later on in 1937, half of Germany’s half million Jews left the country to America. Hundreds of Jews commit suicide, thousands emigrate, and the rest are confiscated. Nazi destroyed Jewish shops and businesses. Later Jews were deported to ghettos which they were soon sent to concentration camps. Finally in 1945, British and American troops defeat Hitler’s army. Hitler commits suicide and Germany surrenders. ===

=== During the Holocaust in Germany was genocide. Genocide means to intention destroy, in a whole part, a national, ethical, racial, or religious group. Hitler wanted to get rid of all the Jews in Germany. Hitler wanted his people to be the majority and wanted to take over the minority. Hitler forced the Jews to hard labor and starvation. He separated the women and men from each other. By Hitler’s actions, he made the Holocaust a defiantly a genocide. ===

=== The 1st stage of genocide is classification. Classification is when they make categories based on your ethnicity, race, religion, or nationality. In the Holocaust the Nazis separated the Jews from the Germans. Thus the Holocaust does meet this stage because of the classification. The 2nd stage of genocide is symbolization. Symbolization is when they give names or other symbols to the classifications. In the Holocaust the Nazis made the Jews wear a yellow star on their clothing to distinguish the Jews from the Germans. Thus the Holocaust does meet this stage of genocide. ===

=== The 3rd stage of genocide is dehumanization. Dehumanization is when an act that does not make a human inhuman. In the Holocaust the Nazis still treated the Jews like humans, but in a very cruel way. Thus the Holocaust does meet this stage because it made the victims to starve to death like if they weren’t human. The 4th stage of genocide is organization. Organization is when they have a plan of how it will work. Hitler first banned Jews from public places. Which they later were sent/forced to concentration camps to work. ===

=== The 5th stage of genocide polarization. Polarization is when they get the people who can stop the genocide first. Thus the Holocaust Hitler arrested the politic Jews first. He knew that the politic Jews would try to stop the genocide he was about to start. The 6th stage of genocide is preparation. Preparation is when they identified the victims and separated them out because of their ethnic or religious identity. Thus the Holocaust the Nazis forced the Jews to wear a yellow star on their clothing to separate them from the Germans. ===

=== The 7th stage of genocide is extermination. Extermination is what the killers called it instead of genocide. The killers which are the Nazis in this case, called it like that because they don’t believe their victims to be fully human. The 8th stage of genocide is denial. Denial is the stage that always follows genocide. The killers of the genocide dig up mass graves, burn the bodies, try to cover up the evidence and intimidate the witnesses. They deny that they committed any crimes, and often blame what happened on the victims. Thus the Holocaust the Nazis burned the Jews into massive grave before after the British and the American troops defeated Hitler’s army in 1945. ===

=== So what happened in the Holocaust was a genocide? Hitler wanted to get rid of the Jews by sending them to ghettos, forcing them into concentration camps. What happened in the Holocaust with the Jews, by the Nazis, and by Adolf Hitler; was a genocide. Now how will the world be if more and more people around the world started to care more and started to take more actions; about genocides occuring in the world today? ===
