Understanding Genocide: Intent and Impact

This chapter explores the complex definitions of genocide, distinguishing it from mass murder and crimes against humanity with an emphasis on the intent to eradicate specific groups. It examines historical contexts, particularly the Holocaust's implications, and discusses how societal narratives and ethnic identities can lead to genocidal actions. The conversation underscores the unsettling nature of individual complicity and the dangers of dehumanizing language, connecting past atrocities to contemporary issues of violence and discrimination.
