  3. Individuals who commit crimes during genocide, whether they play the role of a leader (in class we call these the “big bads”: Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, etc.) or those who commit murder, rape theft, or a multitude of other small crimes during genocides. Perpetrators

  7. Individuals who do nothing. They standby and watch events unfold around them but do not become engaged in the violence—neither do they take action to stop or speak out against violence Bystanders

  8. The United States, while under the Clinton administration, was considered a bystander during the Rwandan genocide • During the Rwandan genocide, the US did not intervene claiming that they did not know that it was going on

  9. Those people who take extraordinary action to help those victimized in genocide. Many famous individuals are members of this group, including Paul Rusesabagina (Hotel Rwanda) and Oskar Schindler (Schindler’s List) • The American Committee for Relief in the Near East is a relief organization established in 1915, just after the deportations in the Armenian genocide Rescuers/Resisters

  11. I work at a company called Opekta, which distributes a pectin preparation used for fruit jams. While this place has been my jobsite for many years. It has also been used as a hiding place for many. My husband, my co-workers, and I were able to successfully hide some Jewish families for 2 years in the upper rooms of our company. Eventually, however, the SS officers found out about our operation and took away the Jewish families—the Van Pels, the Pfeffers, and the Franks Which role am I?

  12. “Cockroaches don’t deserve to live.” In the morning, whenever I hear the drums, I know it’s time to clean our land once again. So when it’s time, I look forward to grabbing my machete and exterminating our land of those insects. Which role am I?

  13. Our government has forced us to go into the desert without any supplies or food. People are dying off and nobody is here to bury them so there are bodies everywhere. The Turk government wants to get rid of my kind and has taken all of us from our homes and sent all of us—men, women, and children—to die in this desert wasteland Which role am I?

  14. I am a UN soldier, a “peacekeeper.” Our job is to ensure the political stability of this foreign nation. However, we have our orders and cannot get involved.
