Radio Netherlands Worldwide & the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies present The Circle of Genocide: on the universality of genocidal processes. The series start with the premiere of Worse than War, the first major documentary to explore the phenomenon of genocide and how we can stop it.
 

Mass killings and systematic human rights abuses are not restricted to the past - the possibility of genocide is a live issue for any society.

But there is still a serious lack of understanding of how these crimes come about.

The Circle of Genocide series is an interaction between scholars and journalists. Combining film, debate and interview, it explores different stages in the genocidal process and its aftermath and offers a comparative analysis of the worst of crimes.

All events take place at 7.30pm, at CREA Theater, Turfdraagsterpad 17, Amsterdam
