Genocide Scholar

Historian Stephen Feinstein, one America's
most knowledge experts on genocide died
March 4, 2008 at age 64.
As the founder and director the
University of Minnesota's Center for
Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Feinstein
was an expert on the effort to destroy
entire peoples by means of genocide.
He fearlessly devoted himself to the
study of the Holocaust as well as subjects
from the decimation of the American
Indian to the current slaughter in Darfur.
Although pressured and threatened by
Turkish elements, he refused to desist in
publicizing and documenting the Ottoman
genocide against Armenians. When the
U.S. Holocaust memorial Museum in
Washington, D.C., tried to dismiss the
Nazi-allied pogrom against Iraqi Jews,
known as "the Farhud," Feinstein refused
to back down. When it came time to shine
a bright light on the Carnegie Institution's
financial and scientific support for Nazi
eugenics, he worked vigorously.
