Item The Armenian Genocide: The Trial of Tehlirian(2017) University of Minnesota, Center for Holocaust and Genocide StudiesIn 1921, six years after the extermination of the Armenian peoples in Turkey, an Armenian survivor by the name of Soghomon Tehlirian murdered former Ottoman Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha on the streets of Berlin. The Grand Vizier had been instrumental in the genocide committed against the Armenian peoples, a genocide Tehlirian had witnessed (and survived) firsthand. What followed was a two-day trial in which Tehlirian was acquitted. Students in this lesson participate in a mock trial of Tehlirian. Students are assigned different roles: witnesses, attorneys, court personnel, and jury members. After going through testimonies and managing the evidence, students must decide if the assassination of Talaat Pasha is justified.Item The Cambodian Genocide: Can Justice be Achieved?(2017) University of Minnesota, Center for Holocaust and Genocide StudiesThirty years after the Khmer Rouge came to power in Cambodia and committed many horrific atrocities, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) was formed to prosecute the leaders of the Khmer Rouge. Many problems have prevented the ECCC from doing its intended job, and Cambodians and the international community alike have criticized it for its inefficiency and incompetence. In this lesson, students will grapple with the idea of justice-- what is it, and how can it be achieved. Do we rely on the justice system to prosecute those most responsible for the Cambodian genocide? Should all people who committed these crimes in Cambodia be tried? How can the victims and their families find peace and justice?Item Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies Annual Report - 2012/2013(2013) University of Minnesota, Center for Holocaust and Genocide StudiesItem Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies Annual Report - 2013/2014(2014) University of Minnesota, Center for Holocaust and Genocide StudiesItem Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies Annual Report - 2014/2015(2015) University of Minnesota, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies; Hammer, JenniferItem Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies Annual Report - 2015/2016(2016) University of Minnesota, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies; Hammer, Jennifer2015-2016 new initiatives: Genocide Education Outreach (GEO) program; CHGS Blog; collection care.
