In international conventions and the professional literature, genocide was initially defined as the intentional destruction of people because of their race, religion, ethnicity, or other permanent group membership. But was genocide also the massacre of helpless villagers in the Sudan by government forces fighting a rebellion, the Indonesian army purge of communists, the assassination of political opponents by the Nationalist government on Formosa, the 'land-reform' executions of landlords in the Soviet Union, or the rapid death of inmates in Vietnamese re-education camps? What about non-killing which has been called genocide, such as the absorption of one culture by another, the disease spread to natives by contact with colonists, the forced deportation of a people, or African slavery? Nor is there any doubt that the current Bosnian Serb massacre of Bosnian Moslems is genocide. And at the core there is no doubt as to what this evil is-all recognize that the Nazi program to kill all Jews was genocide. It is an obscenity, the evil of our time that all good people must work to eradicate. Genocide is horrible, an abomination of our species, totally unacceptable.
