| 1. What questions do the survivors of the Rwandan genocide struggle with in their interviews? What questions did these interviews leave you with? 2. Genocide and mass killings are events that fall outside our ordinary experience, and because of that, they pose a big challenge for people who try to understand them. Sometimes, the sheer scope of the violence can leave one overwhelmed to the point of paralysis. What other things make these events difficult to comprehend? 3. Many people believe that it is impossible to fully understand genocide. Some suggest that those who try to analyze every aspect of this event run the risk of trivializing the violence and its emotional impact. What strategies can we employ to break down the phenomenon of mass killing and make it more accessible to ordinary people? What might draw you to care about the victims of mass killings? What is necessary for people to move from passively witnessing these events as bystanders to actively seeking ways to stop them? 4. What do we need to know about genocide and its associated cruelties if we hope to be able to prevent it? |
