Abstract: The Holocaust and genocide against the Tutsi occurred in the twentieth century. To document and promote greater understanding of genocide, it is essential to compare events of the Holocaust with the genocide against the Tutsi. The main purpose is not to compare pain, but rather to understand the complex social phenomenon through a detailed evaluation of existing official and unofficial accounts of historical events as documented by public records, private diaries, books, newspapers, journals, and other periodicals. By outlining the key moments that led to both genocides, it is possible to shed light on the nature of the genocide itself and although different, the Holocaust and the genocide against the Tutsi share certain common elements.
