Perpetrators/How They Gained Power • Slobodan Milosevic- He gained his power by rekindling ethnic Serbian nationalism • Serbs- Used torture gang rape concentration camps and massacres.
What Was Their Excuse For Doing It • They did it because the Serbs saw themselves as the “greater Serbia,” and they didn’t think the Muslims were part of that so they wanted the Muslims to leave.
How was the genocide carried out? • Propaganda- was used to incite hatred. • Types of violence- gang rape, torture, concentration camps. • Technology-Guns, fighter jets.
When and where it took place • It took place in 1992-1995. • And it was in Bosnia.
How it fits the definition of genocide • It fits because they where doing all of this to the Muslims just because they were a certain race, or religon.
How the perpetrators where portrayed • They say the perpetrators as being evil. • “they acted as if they had never seen me before it was difficult for me to understand how people could turn into beasts over night.” • Nusveta Sivac
How the victims where portrayed • The victims where manipulated. • “We all divided the world into ‘us’ and ‘them,’ some people are like ‘us’ because of nationality, the religion race etc.” • Ervin Staub
How the media outlets covered the individuals traits • Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic refused to show up in court. He was supposed to go to court because of war crimes and genocide charges • “May I hold you to your word?” • judge
