United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

Committee on Conscience Website

As part of our ongoing efforts to teach audiences that preventing and responding to genocide is one of the most compelling ways individuals can choose to act today, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial museum opened a new interactive installation From Memory to Action: Meeting the Challenge of Genocide. Using innovative technology and compelling eyewitness testimony, the exhibit introduces visitors to genocide today and asks them to respond to the question: “What will you do to meet the challenge of genocide?”

We are very excited about the new installation and the accompanying website, where you can access conflict backgrounds and current situation reports; galleries of photographs, videos, and first-hand testimonies from eyewitnesses to the Holocaust, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Sudan; resources to help you take action; and a pledge wall where you can see how others have responded to the challenge and make your own commitment.  Best of all, each piece of content can be saved to a personal online account, as well as shared with students, friends, family, and colleagues.

To stay updated about new content and resources, sign up for our monthly genocide prevention e-newsletter here.  The full press release announcing the installation’s opening is available here.
