In simple terms, genocide is the mass killing of a specific group because of who they are or because of who the killers believe they are. In its terrible lived realities and its legal definition, genocide is so much more. As a Holocaust historian, Dr. Gibbs speaks about the origins of the term genocide in 1944 and how the world has tried and failed to stop its recurrence since the end of World War II. Sadly, even in the age of “Never Again,” a new genocide occurs on average every five years. This lecture will look at important questions like why genocide recurs, what its warning signs are, and, of course, what can we do to prevent it?
