1) After reading the different excerpts, books, and packets regarding murder and genocide, there seems to be in each a reoccurring underlying theme: education is key. The level of education one seems to have seems to dictate both the individual's place in the genocide, and the level of ease in which it can be carried out. Though I do not expect to end with a definite answer, I think it would be very interesting to, at the very least, explore this.
2) One book that you gave me, "'A Problem From Hell': America and the Age of Genocide," looks very interesting and helpful because it contains explanations of almost every genocide. I think by starting here I will be able to find a wide array of examples extending beyond the holocaust and Rwanda.
3)Which type of resource would be the most helpful in drawing a conclusion: books, survivors, leaders?
Are there are exceptions where leaders were more uneducated than those partaking?
