It will focus mainly on four instances of genocide: of the Armenians in Ottoman Turkey, of the Jews by Nazi Germany, of Bosnians in the Bosnian war, and of Tutsi by Hutu in Rwanda, and will deal extensively with the involvement and responsibility of not only the immediate perpetrators, but of their societies at large. Basic knowledge of the historical facts involved is expected.
