They are: 1. Classification 2. Symbolization 3. Dehumanization 4. Organization 5. Polarization 6. Preparation 7. Extermination 8. Denial Distinguishing between us and them Usually based on race, religion, ethnicity, or nationality EXAMPLE: Germans and Jews, The more divided a society is, the more likely they will have genocide. Giving names or symbols to the classification of ethnicity, race, nationality, or religion. Distinguishing people by colors or types of dress. Classification and symbolization do not necessarily result in genocideonly when combined with hatred and stage #3- dehumanization. When one group of people is thought of as less than human. Often compared to animals, insects, diseases, etc. When people are thought of as not-human, it is easier to kill them. Genocides are always organizedusually by the state. Lots of plans, weapons, trained people, etc.
Groups of people are dividedlaws that reinforce hate Example: Laws against intermarriage or socialization amongst groups. People are identified based on their race, religion, ethnicity, or nationality. They are forced to symbols. Death lists are made and victims are separated from the rest of society. Mass killings begin. Perpetrators try to hide evidence of the genocidedig up gravesburn bodiesdestroy recordskill witnesses.
