In 2005-2006 German schoolchildren will start studying a new subject - history of genocide. The first to use the new text book "Genocides and State Crimes with Use of Violence" will be the Potsdam schoolchildren, reports Frankfurter Rundschau. The first edition is in 18 pages. School-leavers will study the history of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire in 1915, tutsi genocide in Rwanda in 1994, herero genocide in Namibia in 1904-1907. Also mentioned are the crimes of Stalin in the Soviet Union, wars in Cambodia and the Balkans, Holocaust. The text book presents German Empire's relations with Turkey in 1915. The idea to publish such a text book first appear in 2002 but state officials called it a mistake. Only now due to Brandenburg State Secretary for Education Martin Harold the idea came true.
