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. With the aim of informing, deepening knowledge and ultimately preventing, four specific meetings are proposed at the auditorium of the Memorial around geographical areas and ethnic groups that have experienced persecution in the last two decades: the Sudanese from Darfur, the Uyghurs in China, the Rohingya in Burma, and the Yezidis in Iraq.
Free admission, upon registration.
The meetings will be broadcast live on the website, the Facebook and YouTube pages as well as the Shoah Memorial’s Twitter account.
