With the verdict by the United Nations tribunal investigating genocide in Cambodia, I thought it would be timely for me to both collect several previously-posted “The Best…” lists related to genocide, and to add additional links to events not covered in them.

First, here are links to existing “The Best…” lists:

The Best Web Resources On Darfur

The Best Sites For Learning About The Holocaust

The Best Resources For Learning About The Warsaw Uprising

The Best Sites To Learn About Anne Frank

The Best Sites To Learn About Genocide In Rwanda

The Best Resources For Learning About The Rohingya Refugee Crisis

Now, here are additional genocide-related resources:

The Holocaust Museum also has a good feature on Preventing Genocide . It includes sections on “What Is Genocide?” and a “Pledge Wall.”

When Native Americans Were Slaughtered in the Name of ‘Civilization’ is from The History Channel.

Facing History has many genocide-related teaching resources, including the examples I’ve already cited and others such as the tragedies in Armenia and Bosnia.

Speak Truth To Power is a project of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights that includes a curriculum of seventeen lessons. The lessons include ones on genocide and human trafficking. They would have to be modified for English Language Learners, but they look useful. They include videos but, unfortunately, they’re all on YouTube, which make them inaccessible (online, at least) for most students).

Suspected war criminal Ratko Mladic was recently arrested. He is accused of being responsible for committing horrific war crimes against Bosnian Muslims. His crimes may, or may not, exactly fit the definition of “genocide,” but they’re close enough.

Here’s a lesson on his arrest for English Language Learners.

War Crimes Suspect Ratko Mladic Caught is a New York Times slideshow.

The Hunt For Ratko Mladic is an interactive timeline from The New York Times.

Bosnian Serb war fugitive Ratko Mladic captured is a series of photos from The Big Picture.

The Guardian has just published an excellent video called Guatemala genocide trial: witnesses of atrocities tell their stories.

Here is how a CBS News story published in 2015 begins:

Around the world on Friday, tens of thousands of people of Armenian descent commemorated the genocide 100 years ago of 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks.

The annual April 24 commemorations mark the day when the mass killings started. An estimated 1.5 million died in massacres, deportations and forced marches that began in 1915 as Ottoman officials worried that the Christian Armenians would side with Russia, its enemy in World War I.

The event is widely viewed by historians as genocide. Turkey denies the deaths constituted genocide, saying the toll has been inflated and that those killed were victims of civil war and unrest.

Here are additional related resources:
