STAGES OF GENOCIDE

• Genocide develops in eight stages that are
  predictable but not inexorable.

10
Eight Stages of Genocide

• Classification
• Symbolization
• Dehuminization
• Organization
• Polarization
• Preparation
• Extermination
• Denial

11

• Symbolization
• We name people, distinguish them by colors or
  dress and apply them to members of groups.

12

• Dehuminization
• One group denies the humanity of the other group.
  Members are equated with the animals, vermin,
  insects or diseases.

13

• Organization
• Genocide is always organized, usually by the
  state, though sometimes informally by terrorist
  groups. Plans are made for genocide killings.

14

• Polarization
• Extremists drive the groups apart. Hate groups
  broadcast polarizing propoganda. Extremist
  terrorism targets moderates, intimidating and
  silencing the center.

15

• Preperation
• Victims are identified and separated out because
  of their ethnic or religious identity. Death
  lists are drawn up.

16

• Extermination
• Extermination begins, and quickly becomes mass
  killing legally called genocide. It is
  extermination, because killers dont believe
  their victims are fully human.

17

• Denial
• The perpetrators of genocide dig up the mass
  graves, burn the bodies, try to cover up the
  evidence and intimidate the witnesses.

18

• They deny that they committed any crimes, block
  investigations, and continue to govern until
  driven from power.
