1. An Awesome organization - gives its all!

   By Mae Tibbetts (General public)

   This organization has many resources to help those of us who are Anti-Genocide illerate learn quickly what it's all about with plenty of ideas of how to get knee deep involved.
   
   I joined the network not too long ago and have learned so much; its a sad, painful situation that should have been taken care of long ago.  What is going on is NOT acceptable whatsoever.
   
   If your interested in becoming a activist for this cause, go to the GENOCIDE INTERVENTION NETWORK and become educated so you can raise awareness - start a website today, further the cause.
   
   Don't stop there by all means widen your horizons and read up on it as well; this fantastic group has everything; they truly care.

2. Teaching/understanding genecides; this is an idea how.

   By Priscilla V. Quinones (General public)

   At my school, we (the class of "2010") did this interactive holocaust thing because the class of "09" just doesn't get what genocide is. So we ran a death/wrok/concentration camp, made the whole class of "09" be prisoners and we gave them passaports, put them in a ghetto, crammed them (about 20-25 ppl at a time) in a really small space to simulate the carts, seperated them, then gave them (temp. ink) numbers on their forearms and at the end we sent them into a (fake) gas chamber. Though the whole thing there were projects and modles of the real work/consentration/death camps. My class all wore arm bands, and I role played as Dr. Josef Mengel. One of our teacher's parents (both of them, and this teacher was the class of "09"'s teacher at the time) survived the holocaust and did a documentry on it (which I had the pleasure of editing) and they saw it and saw how all this affected many, including their own teacher. After this expirience the class "09" now understand why ppl are emotional about this time period and about genocides in general and why it's important to stop them. It was an increadible expirience for them, the teachers and even us, the facilitators. Maybe every school should try to do something simular.
