2) the systematic mass slaughter of European Jews during World War II 3) any mass slaughter or reckless destruction of life

Watching newsreels in disbelief, the worlds population has been aghast for the past 60+ years over the atrocities the Nazis committed on the Jews, Gypsies, and homosexuals of Europe extolling the rallying cry, Never Again.

In 1994, violence broke out in Rwanda and members of the minority Tutsi tribe were forced to separate from their families and go into hiding. More than 500,000 people, mostly ethnic Tutsis, were killed by the Hutus, Rwandas majority tribe, while the whole world stood by and did nothing. Never Again?

The slogan, Never Again, became a rallying cry for the Jewish people as they vowed that genocide would not be tolerated again, anywhere at any time. Never Again also implied that there was no way that they would allow the world to sit idly by and turn a blind eye to atrocities committed in the name of god or ethnic cleansing

What happened? How and why has Never Again become relegated to a nostalgic slogan that sometimes ignites some emotions but little action? The tragedies in Darfur have become a cause celebre for members of the Entertainment industry with many of them diligently raising monies and public awareness of this 21^{st century holocaust. Unfortunately the crime exacerbating the crimes committed by the Janjaweed is that the worlds governments have sat idly by giving only lip service to the problem with an occasional photo op with a celebrity or two.} Then there is the ongoing violence committed by the Janjaweed, a group of nomadic African tribes in the Darfur region of Sudan, which has left an estimated 200,000 Sudanese dead and roughly 2 million people homeless. The Janjaweed are widely believed to be supported by the Sudanese government.
