The genocides described here are not the only examples of genocide that one can find throughout history, nor should they be considered more important than those that are not included. There should be no “hierarchy of suffering” in genocide education. Additionally, these summaries are not meant to be comprehensive histories of each genocide. They were written to align with Dr. Gregory Stanton’s Ten Stages of Genocide, as used in various GenEd teaching guides; as such, there are many historical details that are not included in the summaries.
