Ever since the Holocaust ended, the world made a promise to never commit genocide again. As we know today, that promise was not upheld. Our society has done many wonderful things since then but the prevention of genocide is yet to be one of them. Genocide is formed from pure hatred of regular people who government leaders simply disagree with. Genocide is and always will be a disgusting act that should never be encouraged no matter the context. Organizing violence or the intentional wiping out of a people group is unforgivable.
