1. Classification. People are divided into 'us' and 'them'
2. Symbolisation. People are forced to identify themselves.
3. Discrimination. People begin to face systematic discrimination.
4.Dehumanisation. People equated with animals, vermin, or disease.
5. Organisation.
6. Polarisation.The government creates specific groups (police/military) to enforce
the policies. The government broadcasts propaganda to turn populace against
the group.
7. Preparation. Official action to remove/relocate people.
8. Persecution. Beginning of murders, theft of property, and
trial massacres.
9. Extermination. Wholesale elimination of the group; it is 'extermination'
and not murder as the people are not considered human.
10. Denial. The government denies that it has committed
any crime.
