It may be because of fear of authorities and fear of being killed themselves. But many people “stand by” watching (or hiding their eyes) even when they are not personally in danger. They may not involve themselves because the “us-them” propaganda has been successful, and so they do not identify with the victims or recognize their humanity. (The closer or more related a bystander feels to a victim, the more likely he or she is to act to help.) Maybe the bystanders see victims the way the perpetrators want them to see them — as animals or criminals. At times of crisis, bystanders may believe that getting rid of this group of people will solve the country’s or their own personal problems. In many situations, bystanders have something to gain from the victims’ deaths, such as land, money, jobs or consumer goods.

She is hundreds of years old, and her children are the sprouts that she sends up from her roots. They look like many separate trees, but they are all part of the Mother Tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove ground, the aspens use the sun to produce sugar. Below ground, fungi wrap threads around the aspen’s roots, feeding on the sugar that they cannot make themselves. And in exchange, the fungi carry messages from tree to tree — warnings of drought, disease and infestations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the seasons and years, the Mother Tree shelters and feeds the other trees, the animals that make their home in the grove and the fungi that make it possible for the trees to talk to each other. But when a violent storm upends the order of things, can the forest survive without its Mother Tree?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis story of symbiosis, richly illustrated by Crystal Smith, shows how the forest inhabitants thrive by working together.
