The Shoah Memorial dedicates a week of conferences dedicated to mass atrocities committed in the 21st century. The term mass atrocities conflates acts related to the genocidal process: ethnic cleansing, war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
This week opens with an inaugural conference that sets a theoretical framework – legal, historical and geopolitical – for the construction of the genocidal process. In order to inform, deepen knowledge and ultimately to prevent, four specific meetings are offered at the Memorial auditorium around geographical areas and ethnic groups that have experienced persecution over the past two decades: the Sudanese of Darfur, the Uighurs in China, the Rohingyas in Burma, and the Yezidis in Iraq.
Free admission, upon registration.
The meetings will be broadcast live on the website, Facebook and YouTube pages as well as the Shoah Memorial’s Twitter account.
