The podcast episodes on the Armenian Genocide and the actions of the Reserve Police Battalion 101 during the Holocaust provide insights into the dynamics and factors that can enable mass violence to occur.

The first episode, The Armenian Genocide, recounts the systematic deportations, massacres, and death marches carried out by the Ottoman Empire against the Armenian minority population. The second episode, Dr. Christopher Browning- "Ordinary Men" of the Holocaust, explores how seemingly ordinary individuals can become willing perpetrators of atrocities, highlighting the psychological and social factors that can contribute to such actions.

Understanding the historical context and the underlying mechanisms that drive mass violence is crucial to preventing such atrocities from recurring in the future.
