Packet Item 1 of 4:
Human Rights
and Genocide: A Case Study of the First Modern Genocide of the 20th
Century
Published
by The Genocide Education Project
This comprehensive
teacher's manual focuses on the Armenian Genocide of
1915 during which 1.5 million Armenians, half of the
Armenian population, were systematically annihilated. It
includes a 1-day, 2-day, and 10-day unit with all
the materials teachers will need, including more than
two dozen overheads, interactive classroom exercises and
more.
Discussions include a wide
range of topics related to the Armenian Genocide: the
history of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, primary source
documents, witness and survivor memoirs, maps and
political-economic timelines, and the problem of denial.
The lessons also consider the
links between the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust, and
capture other major human rights violations such as the
Transatlantic Slave Trade, the Rape of Nanking, and the
Cambodian and Rwandan genocides.

Packet Item 2 of 4:
Crimes
Against Humanity and Civilization:
The Genocide of the Armenians
Published by Facing History and Ourselves
Facing History's new
resource book, "Crimes Against Humanity and
Civilization: The Genocide of the Armenians," combines
the latest scholarship on the Armenian Genocide with an
interdisciplinary approach to history, enabling students
and teachers to make the essential connections between
history and their own lives. By concentrating on the
choices that individuals, groups, and nations made
before, during, and after the genocide, readers have the
opportunity to consider the dilemmas faced by the
international community in the face of massive human
rights violations.
While focusing on the
Armenian Genocide during World War I, the book considers
the many legacies of the Armenian Genocide including
Turkish denial and the struggle for the recognition of
genocide as a "crime against humanity." The book can be
integrated into courses dealing with multiple genocides,
human rights, as well as history courses covering the
late 19th century and World War I as well as U.S.
international relations.
