Teachers were also eager to explore how to make the connection between genocide and bullying. Former nun and author Barbara Coloroso says the common denominator between genocide and bullying is contempt. “When institutional and situational factors combine with a murderous racial, ethnic, or religious ideology rooted in contempt for a group of people, then bullying is taken to its extreme. The bullies are now well on their way to setting the stage for the dress rehearsals that precede a genocide.”[1]

IWitness is a powerful tool in the Shoah Foundation Institute's mission to putting an end to prejudice, bigotry, and intolerance -- and the suffering they cause -- through the educational use of testimony. This resource is hands-on, constructivist, engaging, and relevant to students ages 13 and up. There are a variety of activities, including one especially for classes that read Elie Wiesel's book Night, videos that address ethical editing, a built-in online video editor, and more.
