Explanation:
Holocaust is often considered to have given rise to our conceptualisation of the
term „genocide‟, which was coined during the Second World War, in large measure as
a response to the crimes of the Nazis and their collaborators. So the Holocaust may
constitute a starting point and the foundation for studying genocide.
2. In comparing the Holocaust to other genocides and crimes against humanity it should
be possible to sharpen understandings not only of similarities between events but also
of key differences. In so doing, it may be an opportunity to better understand the
particular historical significance of the Holocaust, and how study of the Holocaust
might contribute to our understanding of other genocidal events. By the same token,
learning about other genocides may contribute to deeper understandings about the
Holocaust.
3. In comparing the Holocaust to other genocides and crimes against humanity it may be
possible to identify common patterns and processes in the development of genocidal
situations. Through the understanding of a genocidal process and in identifying stages
and warning signs in this process, a contribution can hopefully be made to prevent
future genocides.
4. Students should appreciate the significance of the Holocaust in the development of
international law, tribunals and attempts by the international community to respond to
genocide in the modern world.
5. To compare the Holocaust to other genocides may be a means to alert young people
to the potential danger for other genocides and crimes against humanity to evolve
today. This may strengthen an awareness of their own roles and responsibilities in the
global community.
6. To compare the Holocaust to other genocides may help to overcome the lack of
recognition of other genocides.
7. Knowledge of the Holocaust may also be helpful in considering how to come to terms
with the past in other societies after genocide, how communities can respond to
genocide, and how survivors can attempt to live with their experiences.
