LENGTH: 1-2 class periods

AUTHOR: Adena Friedberg, Independent Educator/Former Social Studies Teacher in Bernards Township, NJ

DESCRIPTION:
In this lesson, students will learn about the different stages that lead to genocides. This is an essential lesson, as it will serve as a foundation that will allow students to understand what patterns typically serve as antecedents to genocide. It will also give students the tools necessary to identify what indicators to look for when pinpointing regions where genocides can potentially take place in the future. Understanding the stages of genocide also enables people to act to stop policies and practices that can lead to genocide.

The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
