Genocide, today?

Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political or cultural group.

The holocaust is probably one of the more notorious examples of genocide. By the end of WWII a total of 10 million people were murdered in concentration camps. 6 million were Jews. Unfortunately, this is not the last instance of genocide to happen. In your blog:
  • Research other examples of genocide in the world.
  • Choose one country and state when the genocide happened.
  • Finally, why do you believe it is said that, "History repeats itself"?
