Genocide has happened many time is various countries, some more widely known about, and some with greater casualties than others. The most infamous of these would be the Holocaust, which took place throughout Germany and the countries conquered by Germany during the Second World War. It involved the annihilation of the Jews, and was an act of racism ordered by Adolph Hitler. In the twentieth century there have been twelve cases of genocide in places live the USSR during the communist revolution, Bosnia in Pakistan, in Iraq during the late 1980’s and plenty other mass killings in the smaller, war-torn African countries.

The task given to us was to try and get the point across that the government should have intervened and a great many lives could have been saved. The title ‘Don’t Let It Happen Again’ inspired us in the work that we did in the lesson, and we feel that it did get the message across.
