Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Atrocity

Mass atrocities happen because individual humans choose to kill other individual humans in large numbers and over an extended period. Who are the killers on the frontlines of genocide and how do they come to do such extraordinary evil?
Drawing from over two decades of archival study of Holocaust perpetrators and face-to-face interviews with over 225 rank-and-file perpetrators from Latin America, the former Yugoslavia, Africa, and Northern Ireland, Historian Dr. James Waller will focus on the ordinary origins of these killers and the processes by which they become capable of such atrocities. Understanding these processes can be vital to resolving current conflicts as well as preventing the future occurrence of genocide and mass atrocity.
