The Moral Crime of Genocide

            Genocide is an organized plan of action to rid an entire group or part of certain groups. That intention of destruction could be reliant on either an ethnic, racial, class, religious, or national group. Such a plan would have to be made by one who seems to not worry about the happiness of others, whom view themselves as superior or their religion as greater. Genocide is basically disloyalty to humankind. .
             Genocide has been responsible for millions of deaths. Some were due to just their national groups (the Holodomor), others because of their religion (the Armenians) or sometimes for the expansion of a supposed superior class of humans (the Holocaust). .
             Genocide of the Armenians has been recorded as one of the first genocides in the world. The Ottoman Empire rounding up multiple numbers of Armenians had them line up and walk to the desert with no provisions. No Armenian was excluded either be it man, woman, or child. Some women watching their children get their heads smashed in as they were tossed about. Women if most weren't just murdered they were raped then murdered. The genocide of the Armenians was known as a religious genocide that happened after War World I around 1915. .
             The Holodomor was a well thought out plan by Stalin and his inner circle against the rebellious republic of the Ukrainian people. The Soviet Union leaders had felt there was going to be uproar against their organization. So Stalin created a plan to starve the people of Ukraine that did not agree with his plan of socialism in one nation. Stalin had stopped all grain going into Ukraine, had farmers from Ukraine send their crops to the Soviet Union and then went into the lands and took what was in storage. Once all food sources were taken away from the group of Ukrainians in the winter of 1932-1933 was one of the worst famine genocides placed on record. .
             One of the most memorable, because it was the largest genocide that appeared, closes to our time or most spoke about genocides was the Holocaust in Germany lasting from 1930's to the 1940's under the rule of Hitler.
