Hotel Rwanda / What did we learn?
This is an extra credit assignment for SCI c/0 2015. If you choose to do this assignment you may replace your low grade for the marking period. You may not use this to cover the Fishline Timeline, or the Map Test. All others are fair game. I will grade it and replace the directed grade. Please send Mr. Wood a Google Document for the assignment if you choose to do it. Assignment is due posted to Google Docs for credit by 11:59 PM on Sunday May 10.
For 100 days in 1994 a genocidal mass murder of between 500,000 and a million human beings, 20% of the country’s total population, took place in Rwanda. A majority of those people, nearly all Tutsi’s, were executed by hand, by machete, in one of the most brutal massacres of modern history. While the perpetrators of the violence were primarily Hutu para military groups, Rwandan citizens also took part in the violence . Meanwhile the West stood mute. European and U.S. politicians debated the definition of genocide as FM radio stations in Rwanda blasted guidelines for the killings. The United Nations was useless in defending local Rwandans, serving only to stand and watch and occasionally usher white Westerners from the carnage. The events of the 1994 Rwandan genocide was one of the darkest events in modern world history.
