Answer 1

The statement "The Holocaust laid the foundation for the use of international law to prosecute perpetrators of genocide" correctly compares the international community's reaction to the Holocaust with reactions to later genocides. This is because the Nuremberg Trials following World War II were the first instances of international law being used to hold individuals accountable for genocide, setting a precedent for how future genocides would be addressed.
