Genocide: Worse Than WarWorse Than War documents Goldhagen’s travels, teachings, and interviews in nine countries around the world, bringing viewers on an unprecedented journey of insight and analysis.

With his first book, the #1 international bestseller Hitler’s Willing Executioners (Vintage, 1997) Daniel Jonah Goldhagen – then a professor of political science at Harvard University – forced the world to re-think some of its most deeply-held beliefs about the Holocaust.

Hitler’s Willing Executioners inspired an unprecedented worldwide discussion and debate about the role ordinary Germans played in the annihilation of Europe’s Jews.

A decade later – and more than half a century after the end of World War II – Goldhagen is convinced that the overall phenomenon of genocide is as poorly understood as the Holocaust had once been.

How and why do genocides start? Why do the perpetrators kill? Why has intervention rarely occurred in a timely manner? These and other thought-provoking questions are explored in a new documentary film, Worse Than War.

"United Nations" is a misleading name.
The "nations", ie the actual people, have no say there, and aren't represented there in any way.
It should be called "United Governments", as it's a place where members from various government gangs can socialize and demonstrate their power.

In China the Falun Gong prisoners are having their organs extracted by their Gov (who openly admits this) while they are still alive and fully conscious & the UN does nothing. their organs are being sold worldwide at the highest $. North Korea is living hell for it's people, most people are aware of that situation, but nothing is being done. Africa is supposed to be 25% remaining population remaining population 10 years from 2 years ago w/o lifting a finger. The UN is corrupt and we need out of the UN and the UN out of the US. They set these people up, offer them refuge, and withdraw which ensures their death, while claiming to be peacekeepers? Any time you turn your back on human rights violations, you endanger yourself and the greater the population of people on this planet, the less value given to each life of each of it's members.

The world seems to forget that in 1919, the Germans transported Lenin from Switzerland to Russia; thereby causing the Russian Revolution and the Japanese demolished Chinese Society from 1925 to 1945, thereby causing the Communist takeover in 1949. These two historical disasters were caused by Fascist Militaristsic Dictatorships. The world has not recovered yet. I seldom hear any apologies from Germans or Japanese.

I say despite everyday’s personal opinion about this documentary, we should all be conscious about our world community. I am originally from Ethiopia though I have not experience extreme level of war or genocide I know what hatred and bias can do to people and to a country. We should be mindful and try to educate our self. And not say all “Jew” are bad not all “Palestine” are evil not all “Muslims” are terrorist and most Definitely Africans are human not some kind of animals who live in poverty and kill one another like animals.

I think this scholar is very naive about military intervention and how wrong it can go. Dropping bombs is fine but what if the targets uses towns and people as human shields? What if you become imbedded in someone else's war and they begin to attack you with a growing insurgency? Foreign troops are often seen as 'occupiers'. There are lot's of circumstances where military intervention would not be an easy solution.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Muslims would kill all the Jews they could find and would do the same to westerners next. This would be genocide. I KNOW they would if given the opportunity.

Thought provoking and intersting film. However, one glaring ommission in the list of genocide perpetrators and victims: the three million vietnamese civilians killed by America in the 1960s and 70s along with a million more Cambodians and Laotians. A very telling ommission.

Its a pretty good documentary. Its conclusions come too fast. We need to look at how we are committed to things so similar. What is our policy in the middle east? Why use radio active weapons in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt? Can the measure we use against others be used against us? Where does our governments really stand when it comes to new governments gaining economic freedom within the middle east?

The measure we use on others will be used more exactingly against us. The untold story of our military targeting schools and hospitals, clean water, and sewage treatments to cause disease and death.

I am not sure our military isn't simply interested in the complete elimination of the middle east.

It is sad that men still need documentaries to know genocide is wrong. even guys here are debating about it. reading these comments i see guys justifying them. you dont need to know the story behind genocides to know it is wrong; it is shameful; it is evil. who ever commits them has no honor and so too are those who could stop them but chose to do nothing and those who hesitated.. no reasoning in the world is enough to justify even the "hesitation" in beliving that genocide is evil and must be stop whoever or where ever it is being commited.

this documentary is not about who did this or how it was done or who is right or who is the victim. this is about those who doing nothing to stop it. this is about us.

have we lost our common sense for what is right? have our eyes gone so blurred that we have to blame whole people for the wrongs of few? or to blame the grand children of those who did you wrong? we're pathetic.

if we think that mass execution could be justified then god help our souls, we are the embarrasment of the entire human race. we stand for hatred and evil.
there will be future genocides because of us.

this documentary is complete ludacris, I give PBS props for an expensive, fancy doc made up of wiki and google searches used as FACT. First off, this is a Jew talking to Bosnians who just happened to do a little genocide of their own to the small jewish population of Bosna I Herzegovina during the 90's, and treating what they say as fact? From one sides prespective? this is Fact? Has anyone ever had proof of all these mass graves reported? Bosnia commited more genocide on their own people than any Serb ever did. Today its even fact that they bombed the fruit market full of muslims in Sarajevo, that CNN falsley reported as Serb artillery. Some other FACTS about the Balkan Wars, in the famous story of Serb concentration camps, it was found out that some bosnians where talking to some reporters while the reporters where on the other side of a barbed wire fence, and then reported the story as a concentration camp. Another one, is the hospital attack I believe that was in Dubrovnik, where Serb forces recieved fire from a hospital where croation soldeirs where firing from, so they returned fire and the news reported that Serbs where "attacking civilians in a hospital". These types of docs, american media, and the American New World Order, are literally shaping peoples minds into what they want, lies in this country are turned into history. this is why americans across the world are precieved as dumb barbarians. It all has to do with their own system destroying them from the inside, starting with their minds. Has any American heard on the news about the 450 churches and monestaries destroyed in Kosovo i Metohija? Has the news told you that since 1998 the Kosovo Liberation Army was killing Serbs for human organ trafficking? And have they told you since America gave Kosovo its independence and control of the country to former terrorists, as labeled by the CIA in 1998 with ties to Al-Qeada, that Kosovo has transported 85% of the worlds heroin from Afganistan and Turkey into Europe and the U.S.? Didnt think so. Sorry about the out burst guys but I love history I love politics, but now im watching America going into Egypt and Libya and wonder, If they really did care about human life and genocide and this wasnt all politics, why havent they gone into Darfur yet and "KICK SOME ASS"? Because like an old Serbian Vojvoda told me, when america came to the table for Kosovo they asked who can give them what, we(serbs) told them they could open up an army base on one of our old bases, Muslim albanians said they could give them a copper mine, one of the biggest in Europe and Kosovo, land for a Military base, and free pass through kosovo so they could use it for a pit stop to the middle east. when the deal was all done, the albanians had a figure that benifited america in the cents, not even dollars. both parties shook hands and NATO and American forces began bombing the next morning, 3/24/99, my birthday, for 74 straight days. The vojvoda then proceeded to say, You see Petar, Its about pennies on the dollar, as long as their in the plus, someone is going to be in the minus, us.

Why does he classify those under Stalin and Mao as victims of genocide? Those were political executions, not an execution of a race. My understanding of genocide was that it was a mass extermination or attempt to exterminate a racial or ethnic group, not political dissenters.

The most striking example of brainwashing on a personal basis was when I met my Father's (Hungarian, Jewish lineage but individualistic, independent and brutally honest) first cousin. An incisively intelligent, multi-lingual psychiatrist. He was deeply compassionate and responsible for spearheading enquiry and closure to the Stalinist 'dissident' psycho-torture clinics in the '70s. He also had an open house for refugees of all nations whilst raising his own family and continued to do so when I became close to him briefly in 2005 after my father's death.

However, he was an avowed Zionist and had performed with pride many circumcisions; defending the merits of this awful practice on the basis that it had 'done him no harm' (as if he coud remember) and increased libido and sexual pleasure (as if he knew the difference if not circumcised).

He had visited Israel many times and totally upheld the PR screened experience, unaware of the realities.

We argued, of course and he was particularly upset about my smoking; failing to recognise the relative harmlessness of such a trivial and private pursuit.

It stunned me that even he with all his warm humanity had been brainwashed beyond reason. I don't know what became of him after his Alzheimer's took its toll but remained fond of him, if somewhat nonplussed.

My father was different and had no truck with the jew-doctrine being closest to the Quaker religion, if any and a deeply compassionate animal lover. His brief relationship with my Irish mother produced me and his family had sought to abort me in the womb at eight months. His parents and grandparents did not leave Eastern Europe when they could have and perished. He was ferried through the rat lines into a convent and went to live a life of 'poor relative' at his cousin's house in Surrey, his inheritance lost with his parents at aged 12 speaking no English. This formed his character to be on the side of the underdog with a fondness for the Irish. He was not brainwashed and his pain, isolation, social awkwardness and loss made him a unique force who didn't much care for other's approval. I met him when I was 17 and realised that I was indeed, my father's daughter with the delightful addition of the Irish poetic, artistic and ridiculous sense of humour from my mother's side.

I feel there is some credence to the notion that when a child is circumcised, the utter shock and horror cuts off forever, the higher heart/mind spiritual connection, imprinting a deep inner distrust of others. In addition, any residue of the greater realms from which we come vanishes and the jewish children are indoctrinated into the here and now of materialism is all there is in this one life, there is nothing beyond when we die.

My father's cousin feared death and I hope he discovered the truth that I imparted; we live on to face and review our actions on Earth and are held accountable by our very own souls. Such awareness surely means that we live our lives from profound truths, slightly alluded to within the biblical and other texts, distorted through a huge lense of disinformation.

Ther is no good (only a god) within the Talmud as the actions of these Zionist Khazarians demonstrate having been damaged through barbaric customs from birth. No chance to dance with the stars, no unity, harmony or co-creative co-existance. Damaged goods worshipping a damaged 'god'.

These damaged 'gods' of the insane Elites are up for exposure anytime soon, as their 'habits' are ripped off allowing sunlight to shine on their impotent shrivelled old balls!

Yes, ShemIte, Semite refers to the language used by natives of that Middle Eastern locale. As the imposters use Yiddish, of Germanic origin (Khazarian) it is a dead giveaway that they are not originating from the Dead Sea regions. Semites are Arabic. Are they also the tribe of Shem? The imposters wrote the lineage of their takeover in the OT Bible. So 'anti-Semite' would translate as 'being antithical to the the Semitic language or people of that language. These are the Palastinian Arabs and we are not antithical to them or their language at all.

"Abraham's son" doesn't understand the DEPTH of what BRAINWASHING can and does do to those on whom it is perpetrated. My Father, rest his soul, was the most-honset man I have even known. Yet he WAS "brainwashed" while he was in the "Army/air-force." That's what they called it back then. All he "knew" was 'get-up, go to work, go home, eat and go to bed. Get-up, go to work, go home, eat and go to bed. Get-up, go to work...." understand? That was ALL.... he KNEW to do. He never attended church, yet he was infinitely more honest, than ANY Christian, Jewish, or Muslim preacher ON THE PLANET. Religions, were INVENTED by-the-Elite, to keep the poor, from chopping their FKG heads off! "Divide and conquer." Religion SHOULD UNITE, yet all it does is SEPARATE!

I neglected to mention, the term "AntiSemite" is moot, because the Jews of today are NOT Semites. They are what is left-over from the Khazar Empire. Or even "Huns" but certainly not "Semites." So when a Jew calls you an "Anti-Semite" you may want to ask him or her, what they are talking about?

And if the movie 2012 is any indication, and often times they are used for that very purpose by TPTB, our "last President" will be a BLACK man. Which means, Obama will be the last President. Which also means, HE will get elected again (2012) no matter WHAT "we the people" try to do to change that. Or, perhaps, THEY will want to "allow" (appoint) a woman to keep "the game" going? Lord knows, I hope I'm wrong.

For clarification, Psychtropic and Psychotronic weaponry is the tool this faction has perfected and deployed with increasing dexterity upon troops and the general population since Korea and certainly Vietnam. So when such know-nots expouse 'man's inhumanity to man' and 'each makes a choice to do either good or evil and is therefore accountable' they speak from ignorance. The Gods' have indeed made Man 'in their own image' or into their own image through the degrading manipulation of imagination and bodily responses to the radiation of frequencies. Thus, we have tribal warlords in the Darfur, say, openly admitting that they sacrafice babies, eating the heart prior to battle upon their defenceless brethren. They then become Christian Ministers claiming to have renounced such wicked ways, subduing the people in spiritual slavery to an 'ever loving god' haha .... Jonestown, WACO, Gulags, Concentration Camps (the British set up this term after their business with the Africaans)the laboratories, hospitals and prisons of the world unite now into one global gulag of scientific experimentation and control. Look into the 'myth' or otherwise of Atlantis and the myth or otherwise of the Bibles for clues. Also, their own peer writings contained within The Next Million Years, Ghost in the Machine, The Club or Rome writings (global climate change) Brave New World, The Technotronic Age, Plato's Republic.

Prozac and its family are now as acceptable for the masses as popping an aspirin and there are more out of their minds than in them, not aware of any difference. It is not enough to cite 'man's inhumanity to man' for those behind such devolutionary degradation of the nature of man are NOT MAN as they quite candidly assert. What are they? Delusional enough to believe they are GODS and look at Zues for an example of such gods. Stuff 'god' and be GOOD.

Oh, yes, VR you may rightly point the finger at the Catholic Church but what hidden poison guided VATcity atrocities? The Jesuits, no less where we pick up the snake-trail through the Portuguese (?) Empire invasion of South America for a clue to the jew - Ignatius Layola 1556 the found of the Jesuits. There followed the global grande inquisition method of MK torture using behaviourism, extorting barbarianism and cannabalistic blood-festing in the name of 'almighty jesus christ'. Why, in 700 AD did this pustule on the arse of humanity convert to Judaism? To give a veneer of respectability of sorts to a tribe which should have been excised long before and have been exiled long since. We are confused by the term 'jew' - a deliberate obfuscation of the fact that a venemous mega-serpent entered our garden of earth. I can liken this to an unnatural mechanised sperm peircing the egg of creation through a form of scientific intervention. Just as they have followed through with their invitro fertilisation programmes.

Yugoslavia is one example of the nauseating nature of this beast unleashed but look deeply into the historical genocide within any nation, and there lies the spawn of the Phoenicians, Venetions,Knights Templars,Jesuits - one family parading under false flags. From the eyeball extractions of YugloSlavs, to the ear-extractions of Vietnamese, disembowelling of Amerindians, British,Irish - it's all Genocide - murder of the Gentiles conducted through warfare by The Pustulant Imposters. Using forged weapons of economic, religious, racial or sexual metal, devised by sick minds from abyssmal souls contained within the sacred body of humaneIty. They say it in their books, or 'bibles' for those with eyes to see and heaven help and protect the suffering little children from 'Gods Chosen People' and what appears to me to be 'Jesus Christ' - a demonic parody of all that is good and true and courageous in ourselves as man-KIND. Jesuits are Jews, OK? The Pope is a Jew and all 'royal' families are descendants of the Pharoenic lines infesting Egypt called the Hyskos and this is why Egypt in in revolution and our European cities are festooned with Egyptian Iconography of the victors ruling every nation under their One Sun and Egyptian All Seeing Omnipresent Eye. They're all Israeli-Jews committing genocide on manKind through warfare. Sorry for the ramble but it's a long sad history culminating now in the demise of biological life on Earth.

The Catholic Church in Yugoslavia during WW2 definitely condoned torture and genocide of Jews (and some other groups). What the Croation Army did (and many commanding officer's were priest's of the church) was unspeakable. Even the Nazi's could not believe the depth of cruelty use in these concentration camps.

Rick_Hardly: Do some research cause otherwise you just come off sounding like some sort of anti-nutter...
Only 6 million people were killed in the Nazi Death Camps. We all know the sad story of the destruction of the American Aboriginals: from Terra Del Fuego to the Artic Circle. We know about the struggle for self-rule in India as well as the apartied of South Africa. Some are aware of the criminal activities of King Leopold in the Congo and the near destruction of the Australian Aboriginals and the systematic murder of Canada’s Indians, the Russian Crown’s march across Asia. The destruction of the Aztec’s of Mexico, the Hawaiians, and the tribes of the Banda Islands: these people were simply brushed out of the way. The 1903 genocide in Namibia as well as the Armenian death marches were only another in a series of thefts perpetrated by the Occidental culture. The victims did not have the weapons to repel, and in some cases, the heart to hurt another living creature. We call that innocent, primitive. We have regarded these people as animals that require a corral and a task. We, in the west have made of these people slaves because we can.

"Until the lion learns to speak the tales of hunting will be weak" Knaan

History will always be written by the victors. The "Holocaust" myth is simply one version of history as told by the elite Zionists.

Problem, reaction, solution.

Even if the problem is a lie "Hitlers exterminating Jews" the sheeple of the world reacted and the Zionist financiers of the war machines (on both sides) profited immensely.

The Jews then ensured no one would challenge their power ever again as to do so would label oneself and "anti-semite"

Why is it illegal in many countries to research the "holocaust" ?

The people have never, ever, wanted war. Ask TPTB how long they have striven and in so many ways have they contrived to convince man that the proposterous was necessary. Ideologies had to be programmed in, such as national pride and now Global Green Peace warriors - here to save the planet and us from ourselves. This is how the rubber leaves the road on reason and sanity. Desertion, evasion, suicide - all were prefereable to killing another human being. The people of Britain said NO to the invasion right up until it happened; couldn't believe it went ahead anyway. The people of America never wanted either the first, second or this endless war. We are programmed to believe. To beLIEve that the eternal truths they hail to our hearts are nothing but a powerful hook to gain our heart-felt support for whatever gross atrocity they rob us to pay for. They are in vacant possession of our senses and have carte' blanche' to do what they will. Why, as you point out, we can't even be bothered to do the math. Our children's minds are hopelessly polluted with wargame technologies; we are losing our ability to survive though losing our abilities to feel and interconnect through common empathy. The media demonises those from among us and our empathy is twisted to outrage in joining condemnatory actions; the consequences of which reverberate beyond the off-switch on yesterday's news.

What troubles me is, the American Military is doing exactly this, in Iraq, and now Afganistan. Tell-me HOW do you justify killing innocent men, women, and children that are no more "guilty" of 9/11 than our own children are? This "war on terror" is nothing more than an ILLEGAL-EXCUSE of genocide of people who've done nothing to us. IF, and I say IF, because I don't buy-into "cave-dwellers" doing what they were "accused" of; especially considering 7 of the SO-CALLED-HIJACKERS are STILL alive, then only the "19" should have been TRIED. And THEN, sentenced. Now we have THOUSANDS of Iraqi's AND Afgani's WANTING to "get-even." I can't say as I blame them. We've been "carefully MANIPULATED" into allowing the Military Industrial Complex to murder and MAIM 1.5+ MILLION innocent people! No wonder they hate us! "19" people are "to-blame" for 1.5 million deaths? Or is it our own government? Someone please explain this to me. Because I do not "get-it?"

Poisoned food, privately owned water, government sanctioned genocide are all nothing more than cooperate funded eugenics,not to mention wars.

Well, it IS PBS and zionist-backed AND parading yet another 'survivor of the holocaust'. The figure he gives for casualties of genocidal world-war-won was approaching 100m via the Anglo-American backed Soviet State.All genocide is warfare and warfare is genocide - this is a UN term, first coined, I believe by Emperor Haile Salassi. You can always tell an agenda-backed documentary, if you miss the label, by the isms and schisms such as Genocide vs Warfare. Like John Nash's Game Theory, this Jew is espousing that WE the people, are the psychopathic maniacs, ignoring the fact that vicious MK insurgents, Mossad Intel-trained are the ones wreaking havoc amidst the unarmed, unaware and largely uninvolved. This presentation is sickening, as is its presenter. How he drools over the details ...of his bretheren's handiwork.

@princeton

Both war and genocide are abominations. However, war is carried on to gain certain objectives. The killing is done, not as the objective, but as a necessity to fulfill these goals. If you stand in the way of what I want, I will kill you. Step aside and I will let you live. Genocide is killing as the objective in itself. Step aside and I will still kill you anyway. Your eradication is my objective. There is no other goal but mass extinction. Both are inherently evil, but genocide takes hatred to a new level.

I honestly do not believe there to be a difference between war and genocide.. If you look throughout history.. most wars directly cause & can be pretty much labeled as genocide because ummm.. the point of war is to kill people, whether in costumes or not it is still the same act. kill people because you want something of theirs or you don't like what they are doing.. its a large scale murder party where thousands of people are involved and without a doubt civilians do suffer, whether it be financially, emotionally or physically.
Its kinda like the idea of "the rules of war/engagement" lol what nonsense... like there can actually be rules to going around and killing people. its all $hit-c0ckery in my opinion.. and any soldier who donates his body and mind to be brainwashed by corrupt and crooked politicians so that he may be used as their weapon for a measly paycheck.. is a vile creature that hardly deserves any sympathy.

Catholics readily embraced Hitlers philosophies....the Serb people protected Jews in WW2 and were on the side of destroying the Nazis....forget the Croation Ustashi that mutulated Serb Women and Children in WW2...forget that the Albanian forces did the same....
Human beings such as this reporter make me cringe for the reason that there is no balance in the reporting.. and a lack of true insight..and yet he does not realize that it is possible that his race may be promulgating alot of the hatred and despotism that exists in the rest of the world but at least he did not just harp on the holocaust (which did happen...I am not a denier or a revisionist)...Most serbian people are 'salt of the earth' types and most would never participate in the horrendous acts portrayed in this movie...I would write a coherent 10 page essay but I'm a little upset!!! Apologies to those I offend!!
