Slide 2 The ArchdemonProductions Presents Slide 3 A production for the awareness of Genocide Slide 4 The images displayed in this production are of an extremely graphic nature. It may be difficult to watch Viewer Discretion is Advised Slide 5 Too Often is the History of Man Written in the Blood of his Brother Logan Shaw Slide 6 Armenia Slide 7 Slide 8 Slide 9 During and Just after WW1 the Ottoman Empire launched a systematic attack on the Christian minority known as the Armenians 600 000- 1 800 000 Armenians were killed during the 8 year genocide through beatings, death marches, burnings, and shootings No one was shown mercy. Men women and children were all targets of the genocide Slide 10 Slide 11 Slide 12 Slide 13 The Armenian Genocide is to this day denied by the Turkish government. While the wounds may heal, this denial only renews them Slide 14 Rwanda Slide 15 Slide 16 Slide 17 The genocide in Rwanda was a 100 day campaign against the Tutsi tribe perpetrated by the rivalling Hutu tribe. Over the course of the hundred days in 1994 it was estimated over 800 000 Tutsis were murdered They were commonly attacked with machetes by people they may have once called friends Slide 18 Slide 19 Slide 20 The world knew of what was happening in Rwanda. There was news coverage every day of new attrocities against the Tutsis. Despite this, no one did anything to intervene. No new troops were sent, no supplies, and no real support for U.N troops already stationed there No one remained to help except for one man who is to this day haunted. His name is Romeo Dallaire Slide 21 Slide 22 The Holocaust Slide 23 Slide 24 Slide 25 The Holocaust was the planned systematic slaughter of the European Jewish population perpetrated by Nazi Germany. Over the course of the genocide nearly 6 million European Jews were killed, through either starvation, and exhaustion in the concentration camps or the assembly line slaughter of the gas chambers The Nazis showed no mercy to anyone of Jewish decent. Men, women, and children were worked to death, and many were subjected to medical experimentation Slide 26 Slide 27 Slide 28 Slide 29 The Holocaust came to an end after allied forces retook Europe from the Nazis. We knew where the camps were, and had the ability to shut them down sooner than we did. All the same, many were shocked by what they saw inside the death camps Slide 30 Darfur Slide 31 Slide 32 Slide 33 From 2003-2009 a civil war was waged between the Sudanese government, and liberation fighters. This civil war was centred around Darfur, where hundreds of thousands of innocent people were caught in the middle. Over 500 000 men women and children were caught in the crossfire, and forced from their homes and placed in refugee camps. Men were killed outright, and women were raped as both armies moved across the land. Slide 34 Slide 35 Slide 36 Slide 37 Despite the official conflict coming to an end, rape and murder on mass scales are still occurring in Darfur. This is a genocide that is happening now. We cannot afford to turn our back to it one more time. Slide 38 Genocide is the responsibility of the entire world Ann Clwyd Slide 39 Remember the dead Do not turn your back should this happen again You are the end of genocide If you would only lend your voice to the cause
