Why Genocide Education Matters
Teaching and learning about the history of genocide is a powerful antidote to countering hate and discrimination in the world.
Through studying this history, students can understand how racist policies divide communities and create environments that make genocide possible. Genocide education is proven to promote critical thinking, societal awareness, and personal growth. It teaches about the warning signs that can lead to mass murder. Students learn about human behaviour and our capacity to succumb to scapegoating and propaganda. It further reveals the full range of human responses – the individual motivations and pressures that lead people to act as they do – or do not act at all.
The Benefits of Genocide Education

- Promotes critical thinking about extremist ideologies
- Develops more informed and engaged citizens
