About the book:
Genocide Bad is a concise yet powerful exploration of genocide—what it is, how it happens, and why it continues to matter today. Written in clear, accessible language, the book unpacks the political, social, and historical forces that enable mass violence, while challenging readers to confront common myths, denial, and indifference. Sim Kern emphasizes the importance of listening to affected communities, recognizing early warning signs, and understanding our shared responsibility in preventing atrocities. This book invites readers of all backgrounds to engage thoughtfully with difficult truths and reflect on how moral courage, education, and solidarity can help build a more just and compassionate world.
