{{The US Holocaust Memorial Museum is scheduled to host a Global conversation themed; ‘Reflections on the genocide in Rwanda, 20 years later’.}}
The conversation will be held 18th March at 7PM at the Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Theater, 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SW Washington, DC.
In just 100 days in the spring of 1994, up to one million Rwandans, predominantly Tutsis, were murdered in one of the world’s worst crimes of the 20th century. Decades later, we find ourselves asking again how this could have happened as the world stood by.
The conversation aims at exploring the difficult questions that still haunt us today about the leaders who instigated violence, the individuals who participated willingly in mass murder, and the international community that looked away.
Panelists will include; Philip Gourevitch (author and journalist), Yvette Rugasaguhunga (Embassy of Rwanda to the United States), Carl Wilkens (director, World outside My Shoes), Mike Abramovitz (Director, of the Centre for the Prevention of Genocide)
Opening remarks will be given by H E Professor Mathilde Mukantabana, Ambassador of the Republic of Rwanda to the United States, and Margit Meissner, Holocaust survivor.
