Mrs. Miller's class is studying recent genocides and atrocities to compare with Elie Wiesel's Holocaust experience. Here are some sites that have solid information:
Human Rights Watch : The most up-to-date, comprehensive site which reports on human rights activities and violations around the world. Search by country, region, or issue. Includes photo essays, overviews, and audio/film clips.
Elie Wiesel Foundation : This foundation's site focuses more on specific crises (Darfur), but offers a good historical perspective of Elie Wiesel's work.
Invisible Children : Dedicated to the children of Northern Uganda, this organization provides information, volunteer opportunities, and support. We also have copies of the DVD to check out.
Genocide Watch : An organization dedicated to raising awareness of, predicting, and preventing genocide around the world. Clicking on a country to find links to many articles on that particular country.
Inside Tibet (BBC) : This BBC site has a clearly explained report on Tibet today. Includes many links to video, reports, and updates.
Regions and Territories : Tibet : Another excellent BBC report, this site contains much on the current crisis in Tibet and includes a historical timeline.
BBC : Sierra Leone : Excellent site about Sierra Leone's past and present dificulties. Includes many photos and video links.
Rwanda Genocide - 10 Years On : Outstanding report on Rwanda, with updates, photos, and videos.
Genocide Studies Program : Yale University's Genocide site contains links to invididual countries and regions. One of the most interesting aspects is the satellite map feature which shows a country before, during, and after genocide because you can really see the impact.
