Rosenbaum Chapter 14

In Scott Straus's essay, "The Promise and Limits of Comparison: The Holocaust and the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda," Straus offers a historiographical approach to compare and contrast the parallels of the Rwanda genocide and the Holocaust. Using multiple sources, Straus sets out to show comparing two cases of genocide will not only deliver similar parallels, but also varying results which can be problematic. A solution to this would be to "compare genocide cases to non-genocide cases." (255)
