Never Again

This project was essentially a continuation of the Legacy of Colonization project. As we continued to learn about conflicts caused by colonization we started to learn about genocide. We started by studying all of the genocides from the start of the 20th century to present day We also studied the eight stages of genocide and the causes of genocide (aka the pyramid of hate). Later in the project, we decided which aspect we were most interested in and and studied it and created an exhibit to teach others about it. We had an exhibition at HTHCV and USC

During this project we went to the Museum of Tolerance. The Holocaust exhibit really impacted me and allowed me to get a better understanding about what really happened and what was

going through the minds of everybody who was involved. Also, when we met the Holocaust survivor, it really made my perspective change. When you just learn about the Holocaust and other genocides, you know that they are real, but they just all seems like

tales. But once you meet someone who first handedly experienced it, that when everything clicks and you realized that this was what really happened and that we need to make sure that this never happens again.

This project made me realize that the world is not innocent. Everybody is guilty of committing hate inspired actions against one another. Every action of

hate can progress slowly until it gets so extreme that it turn into a genocide. This project really inspired me to speak up again stereotypes and to think about my actions and how they will effect the world future.
