Different stages of Genocide
1. Classification - "People are divided into "us and them"
2. Symbolization - "When combined with hatred, symbols may be forced upon
unwilling members of pariah groups..."
3. Dehumanization - "One group denies the humanity of the other group. Members of
it are equated with animals, vermin, insects or diseases."
4. Organization
- "Genocide is always organized... Special army units or militias are
often trained and armed..."
5. Polarization - "Hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda..."
6. Preparation - "Victims are identified and separated out because of their
ethnic or religious identity..."
7. Extermination - "It is "extermination" to the killers because they do
not believe their victims to be fully human."
8. Denial
- "The perpetrators... deny that they committed any crimes..."
