    Watchers of the Sky

    Reviewed by

    One of the most horrifically frightening documentaries of the countless numbers of GENOCIDE occurrences from centuries past to modern times. Now a world crime, one of the great fighters to stop these barbaric mass killings and the one who coined the word " genocide " was unfortunately a man ignored in his fight, dying a broken man at 59, only a dozen people at his funeral though he had done so much for world peace and mankind. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize seven times for such important work for humanity, HE NEVER WON. But Raphael Lemkin will live on as a great man, the Jewish individual who began this fight to eliminate these acts of barbarism at age 21 right till the day of his death in 1959.

    The documentary reveals the great mind of Lemkin who saw the slaughter of his own family in the holocaust becoming the brilliant advocate to make ethnic cleansing a crime that involved the prosecution of war criminals. The world, mainly because of political intrigues, all the nations who ignored the Holocaust brought further destruction to the world by the many new monsters who would appear on the world stage. And so we have genocides, unbelievable slaughter in Rwanda, Kosovo, the Sudan and countless other places which I will get to.

    It is not often that the worst of war criminals are prosecuted even in this day and age, after all the suffering inflicted on so many. This leads me to believe that the problem with genocide is far from over and that it will rear its ugly head again. IT ALREADY HAS, IN THE MIDDLE EAST where mass killings are occurring as horrible as those of the Holocaust. Witness ISIS in Iraq/Syria. Why won't the world stop this madness? When will the world/man wake up to a problem that never seems to end. Imagine enduring the suffering of ethic cleansing or genocide. It is all too unbearable to imagine we can't or WON'T put a stop to it!
