(1) Discuss John Roth’s and Zygmund Baumann’s arguments for uniqueness of the Holocaust. How do these arguments complement and expand on each other? What do you think makes the Holocaust unique or not? (2) Please discuss the link between empire and genocide, listing at least one historical example that might fit that description. In which ways does empire enable genocide and in which ways might empires actually prevent potential genocides? (3) Please comment on the concept of settler genocide and its links to colonialism. What is the intrinsic link between large numbers of settlers and genocide? How might this apply to the murder and displacement of Native Americans in this country? (4) Please analyze Alex Alvarez’s work on climate change and genocide. In what ways might climate change spur on genocide and what might be possible pathways to prevent genocide caused by scarcity of resources in the wake of climate change?
