"SINCE THE UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM OPENED ITS DOORS IN 1993, GENOCIDE HAS TAKEN PLACE IN BOSNIA, RWANDA, AND SUDAN. CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN THREATENED IN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, CHECHNYA, AND BURUNDI. THE CHALLENGE OF PREVENTING AND RESPONDING TO GENOCIDE REMAINS URGENT."
What advice would you give the next U.S. President on preventing and responding to threats of genocide and related crimes against humanity?
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum asked individuals to write an op-ed or compose a video responding to the question above. The essays and videos were judged by: actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Mia Farrow; Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson; and John Prendergast, Co-Chair of ENOUGH!
Winners will receive a trip to the Museum in Washington, D.C., where they will receive a tour of the Museum; be recognized at the Museum’s annual Tribute Dinner; attend the Days of Remembrance ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda on May 1; and meet with representatives of non-governmental organizations.
